Alice Poletto

The ancient world, made relevant.

I am an archaeologist shaped by Rome and Oxford, working across research, field archaeology, broadcasting, cultural consulting and bespoke cultural travel.

I bring the ancient world into dialogue with the present—through stories, places and ideas that make the past meaningful to contemporary audiences.

Three ways to engage with the ancient world.

My work moves between screen, conversation and place—always grounded in archaeology, and always shaped around the audience in front of me.

Janus

Looking back. Looking forward.

In Roman thought, Janus stood at thresholds: between past and future, what has been and what is yet to come.

That idea sits at the heart of my work. I look to the ancient world not as something distant or finished, but as a source of stories, questions and perspectives that can still illuminate the present.
