28th Annual Kurt T. Luckner Memorial Lecture on Ancient Art

Ancient Mediterranean Glass: Windows into the Greek and Roman Worlds

with Dr. Allison Sterrett-Krause, Associate Professor of Classics and Anthropology, College of Charleston

Discover what ancient glass can reveal about life in the Greek and Roman worlds. While we often admire these beautifully preserved objects for their craftsmanship, they also serve as powerful clues to the cultures that created them. Dr. Allison Sterrett-Krause will explore how glassmaking innovations, ritual practices, luxury consumption, and everyday use illuminate the lived experiences of people across the ancient Mediterranean.
