Author Talks for Heritage Open Days at Fabrication Crafts, Stonegate, York:
“MOSAIC: The Pavement That Walked” (and other stories)
Thursday, 17th September 2026: 13:00-16:00
Join author Clive Ashman for an informal, illustrated chat about his three historical novels set in northern Roman Britain.
Their factual and fictional links with the Roman city of York: ‘Eboracum’.
Hear about:
the lost mosaic that was stolen from the site of a villa in East Yorkshire, in 1948; and
the forgotten Roman admiral who declared his province of Britannia’s independence from the rest of the Roman Empire; and
the York lawyer called Justinus who gets to fight an impossible case for his client, the lady Lydia Firma, in a distant courthouse up on the frontier.
Personally-signed copies will be available on the day. Outside of the event Clive's books are available from our Feasegate shop next door to the event space
