Speaking of props, it was a great excuse to encourage people to interact with a replica Pompeian lararium (complete with frankincense) and some of the most excellent anatomical votives made for us by the brilliant @Pottedhistory team!

In chapter 5 of our new book 📕 🖊️ Early Christianity scholar Steven Muir explores how the interplay of haptic and visual engagement with religious objects and spaces created an emotionally-heightened ritual experience for pilgrims to Jerusalem!
