Arcadia: Real and Ideal, Institute of Classical Studies, University of London, June 2–3, 2016
The Byzantine Colloquium aims at exploring important elements that contributed to the creation, preservation and promotion of the Arcadian Ideal from Antiquity, through the Middle Ages (in East and West) and the Renaissance to the modern world.
