Meeting on Friday. Mask of Oceanus. The Romans first thought of the Ocean as a river surrounding the world that that they knew. Britain was the other side of the Ocean and therefore perhaps a brave step which might be why the discovery of a mask of Oceanus in Hampshire is significant. John Pearce will reveal all on Friday at the Community Centre 7.15. Come along or Zoom!
