ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN - 30 JULY
Date: Wednesday, 30th July
Tutor: Philip Kenrick is a specialist in the study of Roman pottery. He has worked on projects in Britain, Italy, Libya, Turkey and Jordan and has also, for twenty years, led cultural tours to various Mediterranean destinations. He has written archaeological guides to Libya and Algeria.
Description: In the days before the construction of fast modern roads and the means to take advantage of them, the Mediterranean Sea constituted the best and fastest means of communication and trade.
This course will take a look, from the viewpoint of visible antiquities, at how the Mediterranean affected the peoples who lived around its shores over the course of history, falling approximately into four parts:
•Exploration and colonisation by Greeks and Phoenicians
•The rise and dominance of Rome
•The decline of Rome and the advent of Islam
•The rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire.
