The Institut français d'archéologie orientale (IFAO) and Ain Shams University are organizing an international conference on History of Egyptian Coinage. The conference is organized by Tomas Faucher (IRAMAT-CEB, CNRS/Univ. Orleans) & Naglaa Ezzat (University of Ain Shams) March 25, 2018, at the auditorium of the French Institute in Egypt. (Simultaneous translation to Arabic will be available for all English and French communications and all the communications in Arabic will be simultaneously translated into English.)
 

Cyprus painted pottery, although made of raw material, constitutes the only visual craft that has survived until the present day in such a great quantity. Through images depicted on vases we gain insight into many aspects of everyday life, myths, politics or culture in the classical antiquity. What do these vases tell us? What can we see on them?

Within the framework of the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage, the Austrian Embassy cordially invites you to a lecture on Cyprus attic vases by Professor Dr. Maria Christidis from the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Graz, entitled:

When Vases Narrate! 
Attic Vase-painting as Communication Media of Society
