If you find yourself in Oxford in early March, here’s your chance to hear something of what I’ve been doing lately (instead of blogging, that is…):
The Roman Discussion Forum
Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford
Week 7, 04 March 2009
Troels Myrup Kristensen (Aarhus) “Archaeology of Response: Christian destruction of sculpture in Late Antiquity”
have you seen the rosette, six pointed leaf like design on any Christian or Pre-Christian artifacts in your travels? You can see this design on Second Temple period ossuaries from Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem and the IAA.
