SUMMARY:Panel Discussion II on 'Translation and Inclusion vs Exclusion'
DESCRIPTION:‘Translation and Inclusion vs Exclusion’ \nA virtual panel discussion co-organised by the British School at Athens and the Centre for Hellenic Studies\, King’s College London\, and Aiora Press. \nThis session will address the theme of ‘translation and inclusion versus exclusion’. Following on from previous events on the topic of translation with Aiora Press\, we hope in this panel to explore its intersection with the dynamics of inclusion versus exclusion\, the existence or creation of minorities\, the advocacy for a more pluralistic society via fiction\, children’s literature\, poetry\, and graphic novels\, which\, in their own way\, perform acts of ‘translation’ between cultures\, languages or historical periods. \nChair: Prof. Gonda Van Steen (Centre for Hellenic Studies\, King’s College London) \nParticipants: Ruth Padel (Author and Poet)\, Dr Therese Sellers (Author\, Poet and Translator)\, and Soloup (Graphic Artist) \n\nThis is the second of two panel discussions on the same theme\, both taking place via Zoom over two consecutive Mondays on 24 January and 31 January 2022. \nPlease register here to participate: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4016414835945/WN_BL6MHpzkSVOW-CLkEmgwvA \n\nMonday 31 January 2022 at 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Maria Pretzler\, "Herodotus and the foundation of the Peloponnesian League"
DESCRIPTION:Dr Maria Pretzler (University of Swansea / BSA Visiting Fellow 2020-21)\, “Herodotus and the foundation of the Peloponnesian League” \nPlease register here to participate: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rBSPQmpNRSaAtTToZAjaxA \nAbstract \nHerodotus is our main source for the political history of the Peloponnese and especially the beginnings of the Peloponnesian League. Often the Histories offer the only available information\, and yet\, his account often more raises more questions than it answers. As part of my work on the Peloponnesian League I assess Herodotus’ account in its wider context\, considering alternative evidence for the development of communities in the peninsula. This paper will also consider how developments in the fifth-century Peloponnese shaped the narrative: apart from Sparta\, Argive and Tegean perspectives seem to have had a particular impact. The result is a new history of the beginnings of the Peloponnesian League\, and perhaps also a better understanding of how Herodotus compiled his account.  \nMonday 17th January\,  5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Athens)

SUMMARY:Iosif Kovras\, ‘Who’s sorry now? Explaining (Non) Apologies in Post-Crisis Europe’
DESCRIPTION:Iosif Kovras (University of Cyprus)\, ‘Who’s sorry now? Explaining (Non) Apologies in Post-Crisis Europe’ \nAbstract \nIn the aftermath of the recent financial meltdown\, politicians and bankers apologized for their role in the crisis in some European countries but not others. While in Ireland former prime ministers\, senior ministers\, state officials and bankers offered their apologies for their actions or omissions in the run-up to the crisis\, their counterparts in other European countries with similar background conditions\, such as Greece\, Portugal\, Spain\, and Cyprus\, did not. To understand why\, the paper draws on an in-depth comparative analysis of the most representative case of apologies (Ireland) and non-apologies (Greece). This is coupled with the analysis of a new repository of all recorded official apologies in six European countries\, and dozens of interviews with national stakeholders (former ministers\, state officials\, bankers etc.). While the public and academic debates on post-crisis accountability have been dominated by the absence of bankers’ prosecutions\, very limited attention has been paid to the role of official apologies. Shedding light on the rationale (or lack thereof) of apologies in the aftermath of a financial meltdown is significant\, yet understudied. As the paper shows\, apology could be seen as a symbolic gesture aiming at restoring state-society relations of trust broken by the crisis. The paper contributes to the growing scholarly debates on official apologies by expanding the scope to include the hitherto unexplored area of post-crisis accountability. \nDiscussant: Stathis Kalyvas (University of Oxford) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens \nPlease register to participate in this event: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ue19xLCATh2qBGzpVRLGww \nMonday 21 June\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Susannah Verney \, ‘Greek Euroscepticism after a Decade of Crises: Researching Public Opinion through Eurobarometer Surveys'
DESCRIPTION:Susannah Verney (University of Athens) \, ‘Greek Euroscepticism after a Decade of Crises: Researching Public Opinion through Eurobarometer Surveys‘ \nAbstract \nThe Eurobarometer surveys published biannually by the European Commission offer time data series tracking public opinion towards the European integration project over time. This paper focuses on mass attitudes in Greece during the period 2010-2020\, a decade of drama in Greek-EU relations which had a major impact on public opinion. To what extent have three successive sovereign bailouts\, the refugee/migrant crisis and the current covid pandemic nourished societal mistrust of the EU in Greece? How far has this developed into an openly eurosceptic stance? And what are the implications for the future of Greek-EU relations? \nDiscussant: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens) \nPlease register to participate in this event: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bTP0JQmGQhmN6GTOrz3-4w \nMonday 14 June\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:John Bintliff and Anthony Snodgrass\, "The City of Thespiai\, Central Greece: Its Precursors\, Florescence And Successors\, a Narrative Of 7000 Years of Community Life"
DESCRIPTION:John Bintliff (University of Edinburgh) and Anthony Snodgrass (University of Cambridge): “The City of Thespiai\, Central Greece: Its Precursors\, Florescence And Successors\, a Narrative Of 7000 Years of Community Life” \nAbstract \nThe Boeotia Survey project has since 1982 completed total field surveys of five ancient urban centres in this region of Central Greece.  This lecture will focus on our reconstruction of community life on the city site of perhaps the most interesting of these\, ancient Thespiai. The narrative begins with a long-lived Neolithic hamlet settlement;  then continues through the surprisingly subdued picture of the Bronze Age\, especially that of the Mycenaean era when the whole area seems to have fallen under the shadow of palatial Thebes;  eventually witnessing a modest revival around the later eighth century BC\, before the emergence of a fully concerted settlement in Archaic times.  By the Classical period\, the urban centre of Thespiai had grown to an area of over 70 hectares\, enclosing a population of some 9000;  but the city now intermittently controlled a much-enlarged area\, absorbing several subordinate settlements\, and housing an overall population that must have approached 20\,000  –  no lower figure being compatible with the documentary sources.  Recurrent conflict with Thebes again dominated this era;  eventually\, the advent of Rome witnessed a relative\, but permanent decline.   With the end of urban life in Late Antiquity\, settlement shrank to a village scale\, with several local displacements\, ending with the establishment of modern Thespiés on the hill-top overlooking the ancient site.  For all its exceptional history\, the story of Thespiai in many respects offers a microcosm of major trends in the cultural development of southern mainland Greece over the past 7000 years\, and it has been our privilege to bring all this partially back to life. \nPlease register to participate in this event:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ly8uqJSaQWiexbqsjNxmww \nMonday 7th June\, 5.00 pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Athens)

SUMMARY:Professor Charles Brittain\, "Protagorean Hermeneutics"
DESCRIPTION:(Image: Iliad 1.1\, excerpt from British Library Add MS 8232\, f.184) \nProfessor Charles Brittain (Cornell University)\, “Protagorean Hermeneutics” \nMichael Frede Memorial Lecture\, in partnership with the Department of the History & Philosophy of Science\, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens. \nAbstract \nIn this paper I argue that Protagoras’ method of poetic interpretation was not eristic. A re-examination of the evidence for his work on the Iliad shows that he used technical tools of criticism to build constructive interpretations\, as we should expect from the ideas about the educational role of poetry ascribed to him in Plato’s Protagoras. I argue that we can supplement the direct evidence for the technical tools available to Protagoras by comparing the Platonic parody of his method in Protagoras 339-41 and Aristophanes’ reworking of sophistic hermeneutics in the battle of the prologues in Frogs 1126-96. These results point to a positive interpretation of Protagorean hermeneutics\, even if its precise form remains beyond our grasp. \nA handout for the talk and additional material with bibliography is available for download. \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vMSUsfpOQ_qun6HnrNCpDg \nMonday 31 May\, 5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Alasdair Grant\, "George Finlay among the Scottish Philhellenes"
DESCRIPTION:Dr Alasdair Grant (University of Edinburgh)\, “George Finlay among the Scottish Philhellenes” \nAbstract \nThis lecture places the historian and philhellene George Finlay (1799–1875) in the context of the network of Scottish philhellenes that developed during the years after 1821. This group embraced Thomas Gordon\, the soldier and historian; Edward Masson\, the educationalist and attorney; and\, of course\, Lord Byron. Years later\, the polymathic academic John Stuart Blackie was added to Finlay’s circle; while not a participant in the Revolution\, he was nonetheless an influential lover of Greece. The papers of George Finlay\, held at the British School at Athens\, contain a wealth of correspondence between Finlay and these important figures. This correspondence\, placed alongside their published works\, reveals the complex dynamics of how the members of this group perceived and characterized one another and their respective contributions to revolutionary and post-revolutionary Greece. \nPlease register to participate in this event:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4W9b6DraQw2fQ75S8jyGZg \nThursday 27 May\, 5pm UK / 7pm Greece

SUMMARY:Maria Mina\, "Manifestation or mirage? The cultural construction of insularity in the south-east Aegean"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Maria Mina (University of the Aegean)\, “Manifestation or mirage? The cultural construction of insularity in the south-east Aegean” \nAbstract \nThe lecture assesses the position of islands of the south-east Aegean in relation to diachronic prehistoric phenomena\, such as colonisation\, interaction\, and perceived acculturation. The scope of the presentation is twofold. On one hand\, it intends to highlight the centrality of the south-east Aegean in prehistoric cultural phenomena with topical and wider repercussions; on the other hand\, it is argued that prehistoric insularity was culturally constructed and should not\, therefore\, be linked to the islands’ aquatic state or perceived geographical marginality. As a result of cultural choices\, it is proposed that islands of the south-east Aegean faded in and out of topical and wider interaction networks either as solid manifestations or as mirages. A reappraisal of archaeological evidence from prehistoric Karpathos serves to demonstrate the dynamic role played by islands lying in strategic locations in connecting or dividing insular and mainland regions in the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean. \nPlease register to participate in this event:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UlfnHNRyR_G1cHO4feKEfg \nMonday 10 May\, 5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:David Lewis\, "A lost cargo of slaves from the fourth century BC" and John Bennet\, "Work of the BSA – highlights & upcoming activities"
DESCRIPTION:Image: Boeotian cup\, Credit: Huesca\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, via Wikimedia Commons \nBSA Scotland Seminar \nAnnouncing a special event co-hosted by the British School at Athens and the University of Edinburgh. \nDr David Lewis (University of Edinburgh) \nAbstract: Existing studies of the ancient Greek slave trade lack detailed evidence for a key link in the supply chain. The geographical origins of non-Greek slaves are well known\, as are the various destinations to which they were trafficked; as yet\, however\, little is known about their transport by sea. This talk will argue that a key testimonium for this phase of the trade has been lying unnoticed under historians’ noses: Demosthenes 34.10\, a passage that describes the shipwreck and drowning of numerous persons. These unfortunates have long been considered free persons because one of our manuscripts (followed\, but for no good reason\, by many modern textual editions) describes them as ‘free bodies’ (somata eleuthera). However\, most manuscripts\, including the most authoritative manuscript\, S (cod. Parisinus 2934\, 10th c AD)\, simply read somata\, ‘bodies’\, a word that can mean ‘slaves’ in ancient Greek. Numerous editors have also rejected the number (‘three hundred’) of these individuals in S\, emending it to ‘thirty’\, due to disbelief that an ancient merchantman could carry so many souls aboard. In this talk I will present a case that the readings in S should stand\, and that this passage illustrates an episode where the shipment of a large number slaves went disastrously wrong. This grim episode\, I argue\, lost from modern history books due to well-meaning but unwarranted emendation\, ought to be restored to the record as a particularly eye-opening example of the human cost of the ancient slave trade. \nThis lecture will be preceded by a short presentation by Prof. John Bennet (Director) on the “Work of the BSA – highlights & upcoming activities”. \nPlease register to participate in this event:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZLb4LjWpRACNslg1Qf68OQ \nWednesday 5th May\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Judith Herrin\, "Elements of Greek in Ravenna's culture: sixth to eighth centuries"
DESCRIPTION:Image: Gold cross in San Vitale\, Ravenna. Source: Judith Herrin \n  \n\n\nAbstract: This talk will explore the influence of Greek and Greek culture in Ravenna\, where Latin was the language of everyday life in the sixth-eighth centuries\, while Gothic and Greek left deep marks. The reconquest of the city by imperial troops in 540 brought a major shift to direct rule from Constantinople\, where Latin was still the dominant medium. But by the seventh century communication between the two cities was all in Greek with interesting influences on Ravenna’s culture. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend. However\, it is customary to ask for a small donation (we suggest £8.50 for existing Supporters\, £10.50 otherwise) at events in our Friends’ Lecture Series. You can donate to the BSA Friends’ Fund here (please quote “Friends” in the comments box).

I examine\, instead\, local and organizational aspects of right-wing extremism. I focus on the subnational development of right-wing extremist party organizations to turn attention to how local societies respond to extremism. I discuss the societal responses to right-wing extremism in Greece by focusing on the main actors\, resources and tactics of the antifascist movement. I explore spatial and temporal patterns of antifascist mobilization and assess its effects on right-wing extremism.” \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__9QCx_MkQ5yYcCslKo_ruw \nMonday 19 April\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Professor Voula Tsouna\, "Issues in Epicurean philosophy of mind and science: The method of multiple explanations in Epicureanism"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Voula Tsouna (University of California)\, “Issues in Epicurean philosophy of mind and science: The method of multiple explanations in Epicureanism” \nAbstract \nI intend to examine an original and important feature of Epicurean science\, namely the method of multiple explanations.  The Epicureans claim that\, in certain contexts\, several alternative explanatory hypotheses may be advanced which may prove to be equally consistent with the phenomena within the orbit of our direct experience.  The Epicureans contend that\, in such cases\, we should accept all of these hypotheses not merely as possible but also as true.  At first glance\, the method of multiple explanations seems intriguing or implausible.  Moreover\, some interpreters declare it to be anti-scientific:  allegedly\, the Epicureans are ready to accept different competing explanations\, simply because they consider it ethically or pragmatically useful to do so.  Other interpreters\, however\, argue that the method of multiple explanations has a physical and metaphysical basis involving possible worlds.  My aim is to revisit and reassess the method of multiple explanations in the light of new evidence\, notably from Epicurus’ multi-volume work On Nature\, and also taking into consideration recent scholarly studies on Epicurus\, Lucretius\, and Diogenes of Oinoanda. \nThe abstract of the talk and a handout of translated texts is available for download. \nCo-organized by the BSA and the Research Centre for Greek Philosophy (Academy of Athens) \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XBhpPRn6Q2GzmCi1Q8w1AQ \n  \nThursday 1 April\, 3.00pm (UK) / 5.00pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Professor Voula Tsouna\, "Issues in Epicurean philosophy of mind and science: The Epicurean notion of ‘επιβολή'"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Voula Tsouna (University of California)\, “Issues in Epicurean philosophy of mind and science: The Epicurean notion of ‘επιβολή‘” \nAbstract \nThe surviving writings of Epicurus and his followers contain several references to epibolê  – a puzzling notion that does not receive discussion in the extant Epicurean texts\, even though it is known to have been debated within the Garden.  While the grammatical components of ̔epibolê’ \n(epi +ballein) have commonly been taken to indicate that the term refers to projection or attention\, there is no consensus about what epibolê is\, what it is of\, and what it operates on.  Even more importantly\, the epistemological status and rôle of that notion is unclear.  On the one hand\, Diogenes Laertius attests that some Epicureans treated the phantastikai epibolai tês dianoias (representational epibolai of the mind) as criteria of truth.  On the other\, Epicurus explicitly states that the criteria of truth are\, precisely\, sensations\, preconceptions\, and feelings. Since overt disagreement with the Founder is not permissible in the context of the Garden\, it is important to examine whether Epicurus’ surviving writings might permit or suggest that epibolê too has criterial status.  This and other related questions are crucial for the ethical theory as well as the epistemology and scientific methodology of the Garden.  For the criteria are supposed to ensure both access to truths and solid grounds for action. \n            My aim\, then\, is to piece together Epicurus’ conception of epibolê partly in light of its reception and uses by later Epicurean authors.  In Part One\, I discuss in turn the occurrences of ‘epibolê’ and its cognates in the Letter to Herodotusand the Principal Doctrines and argue that some of the things that Epicurus says might plausibly be taken to imply that epibolê has criterial powers.  Notably\, I dwell on a distinction between two different types or senses of ‘epibolê’ that has received little or no attention in the secondary literature and\, nonetheless\, according to my analysis\, is absolutely central for both Epicurus and his late followers.  In light of that distinction\, in Part Two I consider the philosophical merits of the traditional interpretation of epibolê as projection and/or attention.  The latter\, I suggest\, gains or loses plausibility depending on the context and on the sort of epibolê that one is talking about.  In Part Three I pursue the aforementioned distinction in late Epicureanism\, in particular Lucretius and Philodemus.  I try to show how\, during that period\, epibolêenjoys the status of a criterion and also acquires paramount moral importance.  I conclude with a few general remarks. \nThe abstract of the talk and a handout of translated texts is available for download. \nCo-organized by the BSA and the Research Centre for Greek Philosophy (Academy of Athens) \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hHaRKhZERPGFKPCgwaqi3g \nWednesday 31 March\, 3.00pm (UK) / 5.00pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Foteini Kalantzi \, ‘A ‘bare life’ in the borderlines of the Mediterranean’
DESCRIPTION:Dr Foteini Kalantzi (SEESOX\, University of Oxford)\, ‘A ‘bare life’ in the borderlines of the Mediterranean’ \nDiscussant: Dimitris Skleparis (Newcastle University) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) Hosted by the British School at Athens) \nABSTRACT\n\nMigration and refugee flows have been at the epicentre of political interest and agendas for quite some time. The latest developments in the geopolitical arena\, in particular the war in Syria and the displaced populations\, in conjunction with the instrumentalisation of migration as a diplomatic tool by states\, necessitate an informed research agenda on this particular subject. The politicisation of migration has been a central element in electoral campaigns and has been escalated as a serious matter of public concern\, posing an alleged danger to social cohesion\, economic prosperity\, national identity\, public health\, and public security. At the same time\, there is a perpetuation of unresolved issues at the external EU borders\, when looking at deaths in the sea or the dire living conditions in the reception centres. \nThe particular seminar will focus on the EU’s migration and asylum management in the Mediterranean\, and in particular the border practices and reception centres in Greece. The two overarching research questions are whether migration has been securitised in Greece\, that is if it has been formulated and addressed as a security threat and secondly\, which are those mechanisms that conduce to the securitisation of migration\, that is how this process has been coming about. \nThe wider rationale of the presentation lies within the ‘state of exception’ (Agamben 2005)\, whereby entire categories of citizens cannot be integrated into the political system. The erection of walls falls into the logic of framing migration as an issue of belonging within the polis – who belongs and who doesn’t\, who is included and who is excluded. Securitisation of migration achieved through raising issues of identity and safety plays a key role to the creation of the borderline of belonging. As Agamben puts it\, the logic of exception is deeply linked with the sovereign state. The sovereign power employs certain practices of securitisation producing a ‘bare life’\, the life of the ‘homo sacer’ a life banned from conventional juridical and political structures (Agamben 1995). \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_q48n02-FQw-utUh2uOi1HQ \n\nMonday 1 March\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Foteini Dimirouli\, “C.P. Cavafy in the World: Origins\, Trajectories and the Diasporic Poet"
DESCRIPTION:“artwork ©Dimitris Kamenos\, with permission” \nDr Foteini Dimirouli (University of Oxford)\, “C.P. Cavafy in the World: Origins\, Trajectories and the Diasporic Poet” \nAbstract \nHow does an author writing in a minor language enter world literature? C.P. Cavafy’s journey from relative invisibility to global visibility was long and tumultuous\, determined by his debts to both the Greek and Alexandrian cultural settings. Theories of world literature highlight the ways in which nations formulate their internal canons on the basis of crucial validation imparted externally\, through dominant centres of literary production (for example\, through the Anglophone cultural scene). But this national paradigm fails to encompass the case of diasporic writers and their dual cultural origins. This seminar employs the case of Cavafy to rethink the ways in which global reputation is constituted and spread\, especially when an author is claimed by different cultural agents and for divergent purposes. \nPlease register to participate in this event:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HkGmS5H4SF2NNlLg_da6hA \nMonday 1 February\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Yannis Hamilakis & Rafael Greenberg\, "Modernity's sacred ruins: colonialism\, archaeology\, and the national imagination in Greece and Israel"
DESCRIPTION:Moses Lilien’s masthead for the journal Altneuland (1904) \nDue to circumstances beyond our control we regret that this event has been postponed for a future date (to be announced).  Apologies for any inconvenience. We hope you will be able to join us for the rescheduled event\, for which you will have to re-register. \nProfessor Yannis Hamilakis (Brown University) & Professor Rafael Greenberg (University of Tel Aviv)\, “Modernity’s sacred ruins: colonialism\, archaeology\, and the national imagination in Greece and Israel” \nAbstract \nBased on a forthcoming book\, the presenters will reflect on the shared origins of Classical and Holy Land archaeology as ‘ground zero’ of European modernity\, and on points of convergence and divergence in the integration of archaeology into the national imagination in Greece and Israel. They will touch upon contentious issues such as the lingering effects of colonialisms on the direction of archaeological research in both countries\, archaeology’s role in the creation  of ‘purified’ national ethnoscapes\, whiteness and the racialized use of archaeogenetics research\, and the prospect of a decolonized archaeology. \nMonday 18 January\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Robert Parker\, "New Discoveries and New Problems in Greek Religion"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There are always ‘New Discoveries and New Problems’ in Greek Religion\, but the two discoveries to be presented in this lecture are exceptional. In 2013 a large new cache was published of the lead tablets on which enquirers at Zeus’ oracle at Dodona wrote their questions. They extend our knowledge of the very down-to-earth problems that consultants took to the oracle\, and they also reveal for the first time one of the ways in which the oracle answered those questions. Secondly\, a large stele of the 2nd c. BCE found dumped at a roadside near Marmarini in Thessaly and first published in 2015 contains extensive regulations for the cult of a goddess who is not named in what survives but whose name (still unknown) would almost certainly be a surprise\, because two of her festivals\, which are named\, are Nisanaia and Eloulaia\, so derived from month names not of the Greek but of the ‘standard Mesopotamian’ calendar. And male initiates in her cult had to shave their heads….If dated to the 2nd c CE this would still be a remarkable find: in the 2nd c BCE it is a bombshell. \nThis event is free to attend. However\, it is customary to ask for a small donation (we suggest £8.50 for Supporters\, £10.50 otherwise) at events in our Friends’ Lecture Series. You can make this donation here to help the BSA weather the current pandemic and ensure it continues to make available its world-class resources to facilitate\, promote and conduct research – as we have for over 130 years. All proceeds for this event will go to the BSA Friends’ Fund\, please quote ‘Friends’ Lecture’ in the ‘Additional Comments’ box. \nPlease click here to register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DHR9gqHLQRK_3byepuwkqQ \n\n\nTuesday 8 December at 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece).
