You are invited to an IIHSA Online Lecture on Thursday, October 7th 2021: 5.30 pm (Irish time) / 7.30 pm (Greek time) by Prof. Michael Hoff (University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Art, Art History and Design) on ‘Antiochia ad Cragum in Rough Cilicia: Pirates, Romans, and More Pirates’.
Abstract: Antiochia ad Cragum, located on the south Turkish coast in the region of western Rough Cilicia, was founded by Antiochus IV of Commagene during the Julio-Claudian period. The site had previously served as one of the bases for the infamous “Cilician Pirates,” but Antiochus’ eponymously-named city was certainly less famous. Nevertheless, excavations since 2005 have revealed much of the inner workings of the small city, especially regarding relationships between Emperor and city. This lecture highlights the site’s pirate past and noteworthy discoveries made since excavation began.”
