FOOTSTEPS!

In this latest episode, the Unexpected duo, Professor James Daybell and Dr Sam Willis walk very carefully down the pathway of the past to stumble upon the unexpected history of FOOTSTEPS! Which is all about Roman civilisation, animal prints frozen in time, and treading in the footsteps of the past! It's also all about the history of religion, pilgrims and pilgrimages, and the religious routes mapped across the world from ancient times to the present. Who knew! Hosted on Acast.
