In this podcast, Vyron Antoniadis, Senior Researcher in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the island of Delos during the Hellenistic and Roman periods (3rd century – 1st century BCE). What was the importance of Delos during that period? Why did Delos become the biggest port in the eastern Mediterranean? Who lived on Delos? What did the inhabitants do for a living? Was ancient Delos the Mykonos of ancient times?
An international training school is planned to introduce students and scholars of Byzantium to the discipline of Byzantine sigillography. The Training School is open to Master students and doctoral candidates, as well as postdoctoral researchers in Byzantine Studies and related fields (such as Classics or Medieval Studies).
Launched within the framework of ERC funded project Byz-GOVAG: Agents of Cohesion in the Governance of an Empire: The Anthropo-Geography of Byzantium, 7th to 12th Centuries, the school is organised by Olga Karagiorgou (Academy of Athens, KEMBT, Director of Research / Principal Investigator of the Byz-GOVAG project) and Christos Malatras (National Hellenic Research Foundation, Institute of Historical Research, Associate Researcher) in collaboration with the Numismatic Museum.

In this podcast, Paschalis Paschidis, Director of Research in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the ancient Macedonians. Who were they? What language did they speak? How did southern Greeks view the inhabitants of Macedonia? Why did Demosthenes call the Macedonians ‘barbarians’? Is it important that Macedonia was ruled by a monarchy? How can we write the history of ancient Macedonia?
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.

Muhabbet is an initiative aiming at bringing together scholars, students, and people interested in the shared social history and cultural heritage of the East Mediterranean. We wish to hold discussions about our common legacies in an informal and friendly environment, like that of the coffeehouses, which originated in the Ottoman East Mediterranean, where people used to come together to develop amicable conversations called muhabbet.
The initiative is endorsed by the Demos Center, the Institute of Hellenic Culture and Liberal Arts, ACG; the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation.
