‘A view to the sea: Monumental burial traditions in the southern Black Sea region during the late Classical and early Hellenistic period’
Dr Jane Rempel, University of Sheffield (UK)
Learn about the late Classical / early Hellenistic monumental burial traditions from Sinope and Amisos on the south coast of the Black Sea!
Webinar will be held online, at this link. Open to public!
Abstract:
Dr Rempel’s talk investigates the late Classical/early Hellenistic monumental burial traditions from Sinope and Amisos on the south coast of the Black Sea. It argues that, while these burials are locally informed, they were designed to participate in larger networks of elite competition. These include the regional network of the central Pontic region (Paphlagonia and the Pontic kingdom) and also that of the other Greek settlements around the Black Sea. During a period of marked prosperity and mobility, as well as dynamic political competition, new monumental and lavish burial traditions played an important role in proclaiming elite identities across political and cultural boundaries.
