Their archaeological context\, however\, has never been presented systematially\, since the inscriptions have been published piecemeal in the service of specific topical interests. Since the majority of the Ephesian inscriptions were not found in situ\, their findspots reveal a great deal about secondary use and about the broader patterns of destruction and change in the use of large urban areas.\nAlexander Sokolicek is director of the Magnesian gate project under the aegis of the Ephesos excavations of the Austrian Archaeological Institute. He holds an M.A. (1997) and Ph.D. (2003) from the University of Vienna\, in the combined course of Classical Archaeology\, Ancient History\, Epigraphy\, Papyrology and Ancient Numismatics. His research interests concern fortifications and urban studies in the ancient Mediterranean. \nThis talk is sponsored by the Archaeology Research Focus Group of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center at UCSB.

Aeschylus fought at both the land battle of Marathon (490 BC)\, and at the naval battle of Salamis (480 BC). His brother Cynegirus was killed at Marathon.\nThe Persians is one of only seven of Aeschylus’ plays to have survived intact since antiquity. It is also the earliest extant Greek tragedy. The play was produced in 472 BC\, just eight years after the battle of Salamis which it describes. \nUCSB historian URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/aeschylus-persians-and-the-greek-persian-wars/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20080419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20080419T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T125028 CREATED:20150928T112752Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112752Z UID:10001540-1208563200-1208563200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Constructing Sectarianism in the Middle East and South Asia DESCRIPTION:The CMES 10th Annual Middle East Studies Conference\nScholars will present papers offering in-depth analyses of sectarianism in the Middle East and South Asia.
