Silver, Slaves and Yorkshire? With Jonathan Shepard
Join Jonathan Shepard of the University of Oxford to take a look at the long-distance trade that flourished in the 9th and 10th centuries between the Baltic Rim and Baghdad – and Central Asia – via the riverways of Rus (today’s Ukraine and Russia). What was the silver found in hoards around Scandinavia and as far west as the British Isles being traded for, and how does Yorkshire fit into the picture? Touching on JORVIK’s Trade with the East loan from the British Museum, he will draw on themes from Viking-Age Trade: Silver, Slaves and Gotland, which will also be available to purchase at the event.
