The Hellenistic Peloponnese: New Perspectives

“The Hellenistic Peloponnese: New Perspectives” is an one-day International PhD Conference organised by the School of Archaeology & Ancient History of University of Leicester. The aim of the conference is to gather PhD students and Early Career Researchers whose work or research interests involve the Hellenistic Peloponnese. They may be researching different areas of the region and challenge the t

raditional interpretations and/or offering new insights or methodological approaches. In particular, this conference aims:

1) to evaluate new methodological approaches which could be beneficial to the study of the past in the Hellenistic Peloponnese
2) to explore the ways in which Hellenistic states interacted and the extent of this interaction
3) to investigate how and to what extent the past was perceived in the Peloponnesian poleis
4) to assess the impact of external factors such as cultural exchanges and warfare on the Peloponnesian poleis
5) to examine internal and external social relationships and interactions: interactions of poleis with other poleis and/or states inside and outside of the Peloponnese
