Workshop Kaniuth/Gondet
Achaemenid Residences in Context
Organizers: Kai Kaniuth (LMU Munich) / Sébastien Gondet (CNRS, Lyon)
Abstract
It will be the aim of the workshop to situate the centres of power of the Achaemenid Empire within their wider historical, social or spatial environment. While certain aspects of palatial architecture (such as the paradeisoi) were modelled on Persian prototypes, it is certain that such central places had various configurations and functions according to the local settings. The goal of this workshop will be to converge experiences and thoughts to build a common framework for future reflexion.
The net of topics is cast wide intentionally, and we have encouraged approaches from the perspectives of philology, archaeology and the natural sciences to consider topics such as the evolution, structuring principles, administration, natural or social setting of these nodes of power.
