Blood in Byzantium, 52nd Annual Spring Symposium of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies, Churchill College and Trinity College, Cambridge, March 30–April 1, 2019
In 2019, the SPBS Spring Symposium will be returning to Cambridge for the first time since 1990. The theme which has been chosen is ‘Blood in Byzantium’. This theme will facilitate inter-disciplinary discussion of research and ideas embracing Byzantine religion, art history, military history, social history, and law, as well Byzantine medicine and philosophy, drawing upon the extensive theoretical and historical literature that has emerged on the body, blood, and medicine in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but which has yet to be systematically applied to Byzantium and its neighbours.
Registration closes March 22, 2019.
