Zamanakos Lecture: 'Seeking Sponsors in Hellenistic Greece'

On Thursday, March 20, Prof. Gregory Callaghan (Union College) will come to UMass Lowell to give this year's Zamanakos Lecture. Prof. Callaghan's talk, "Seeking Sponsors in Hellenistic Greece: Why and How Greek Communities Embraced Attalid Patronage," will explore how the Attalid dynasty of the new and rising Kingdom of Pergamon used the metric of "status" to achieve an authority within the Greek world that far exceeded its military and territorial power. The lecture will take place in Coburn 255 from 6 to 7 p.m., with a reception to follow from 7 to 8 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. For any questions, please contact Prof. Jane Sancinito.
