In this podcast, Kostas Tampakis, Senior Researcher in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the relationship between the development of Natural Sciences and the historical context of the Cold War.

How is the teaching of Physics at schools in Greece related to NATO choices? Why was the Research Institute Demokritos founded in Greece? Is GPS part of a Cold War policy?

In this podcast, Nikos Tsivikis, Associate Researcher in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the city of Messene during the period of Late Antiquity, that is in the period between the 3rd and 7th century CE. Was Messene one of the biggest cities in the Peloponnese? What was the relationship between the Messenian elite and Roman administration? What was the impact of the great earthquake of July 365 on the city and its inhabitants? What happens with the coming of Christianity? Can we witness a period of decline during the 5th and 6th centuries? What was the everyday life of the inhabitants? What happens when the Slavs come to the area in the 7th century?

The AmphiPoly research project aims to scientifically document the reconstruction of the monument’s original appearance, including its polychromy and iconography, in all its chronological phases. Digital, three-dimensional representation and aesthetic restoration is implemented, based on archaeometric measurements, digital tools, and historical-archaeological research.
