- **Event Name**: Domination: The Fall & Rise of an Empire with Alice Roberts
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Festival welcomes back Professor Alice Roberts as she takes us on an investigative journey to establish who spread Christianity, how and why; the story of the fall of an Empire – and the rise of another.

Celebrating the publication of her latest book, Domination, the narrative will lead audiences from a secluded valley in South Wales to the shores of Brittany; from the heart of the Roman Empire in a time of political turmoil to the ancient city of Corinth in the footsteps of the apostle Paul; from Alexandria in the fourth century to Constantinople.

As the Roman Empire crumbled in Western Europe, a shadow of power remained, almost perfectly mapping onto its disappearing territories. And then, it continued to spread. Unearthing the archaeological clues and challenging long-established histories, Professor Roberts tells a remarkable story about the relationship between the Roman Empire and Christianity.
