Lecture on the Paphos Project
Tuesday 19 May 2009, 6.30pm for 7pm
Australian Museum

Craig Barker of Sydney University Museums explores the work conducted by The University of Sydney on the Hellenistic-Roman theatre in Paphos in Cyprus since 1995. The theatre of Paphos, constructed in c. 300 BC, hosted performances and entertainment for over six centuries. At its greatest extent, under Roman control, the theatre could seat an audience of 8000 spectators. Discover how this ancient theatre has been exposed from the ground through careful archaeological investigation and what this research means for our understanding of Cypriot history.
