Join us for the AIA (Archaeological Institute of America) Toledo Society 11th Annual Dorothy M. Price Memorial Lecture on Ancient Art: About the Houses in Ancient Greece. Presented by Dr. Lisa Nevett, Professor of Classical Archaeology, University of Michigan.
For some reason, other people’s houses always seem interesting – whether it is the houses of new friends; or the houses of celebrities, glimpsed ‘through the keyhole’ – as a popular TV show once put it. In this lecture we will look at some of the houses of ancient Greece, exploring what they can tell us about the lives of the people who once lived in them. The speaker will discuss a range of evidence including architecture, mosaics and pottery, from a variety of cities, including Athens and Delos.
