A fascinating new entry in this popular series, exploring Britain's LGBTQ+ history through objects recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
The LGBTQ+ community is made up of a range of different sexualities and gender expressions. Although many of the terms we use to categorise this diversity did not exist in the past, that diversity certainly has existed throughout history. From bisexual monarchs to gender non-conforming priests, history tells us that LGBTQ+ people have always existed. This book uses objects recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme to share stories of LGBTQ+ history and culture, focusing on historical figures, the natural world, language and symbolism, and communities. From a coin of the Roman Emperor Hadrian to a toy bear, this book also highlights the rich depth of history and range of objects that can be seen on the PAS database.

Ben Paites is one of the curators at Colchester Museums. Before this, he spent many years working with the Portable Antiquities Scheme recording hundreds of objects across Essex and London. His main areas of interest are the histories of marginalised people, with a particular focus on the Roman World and British archaeology and history. As a curator, he has produced many exhibitions, covering themes such as the witch trials and Medieval Jewish history, as well as appearing on several TV shows and podcasts talking about a wide range of historical topics.
