Author Description

The conference <i>Seasides of Byzantium. Harbours and Anchorages of a Mediterranean Empire</i>, from which the papers collected in the present volume emerged, took place in Athens in 2017 as part of a cooperation between the DFG-funded Special Research Programme (SPP-1630) <i>Harbours from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages</i> and the National Hellenic Research Foundation. It united historians, archaeologists and geoarchaeologists to explore harbours and anchorages as core maritime infrastructure to the Late Roman and Byzantine Empire.
