The Meaning of Carpe Diem

How "seize the day" does not get CLOSE to capturing the power of
the poet Horace's words Ashmolean After Hours: Carpe Diem! Mount
Vesuvius is thought to have begun erupting on 24 October AD 79.
Almost two thousand years later, TORCH collaborated with the
Ashmolean Museum for a special edition of After Hours to 'seize the
day' and celebrate all things Pompeii and ancient Rome, with
bite-sized talks from students and researchers, and activities for
all to enjoy. This event was part of the Humanities Cultural
Programme.
