Summary:

"Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress on Black Sea Antiquities, (Thessaloniki, 2022), this volume brings together leading scholars from across Europe and beyond to showcase new research on the diverse cultures, interactions, and archaeological discoveries that shaped the Black Sea region in antiquity. The Black Sea: Hub of Peoples and Cultures (8th Century BC–5th/6th Century AD) presents the Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress on Black Sea Antiquities, held in Thessaloniki in September 2022 and dedicated to the memory of Prof. Alexandru Avram. This volume continues the tradition of bringing together leading scholars from across Europe and beyond, showcasing new research on the diverse cultures, interactions, and archaeological discoveries that shaped the Black Sea region in antiquity. Despite the challenging global context in which the Congress took place, it successfully facilitated scholarly exchange on topics ranging from Greek colonisation and local indigenous societies to trade networks, religious practices, and imperial influences from the Archaic to Late Antique periods. The volume comprises contributions from specialists in archaeology, history, and numismatics, as well as reports on new excavations and projects, reinforcing the Black Sea’s role as a crucial crossroads of civilisations. Maintaining the high standards set by previous congresses, this publication offers fresh perspectives and significant advances in Black Sea studies, ensuring its place as an essential resource for scholars of the ancient Mediterranean and Eurasian worlds"-- Provided by publisher
