This is the first conference sponsored by the University of Nottingham's
newly founded Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies. Its central
theme looks at developments of Prehistoric, Classical, Roman, Byzantine
and modern times that promoted or hindered the cultural and economic
integration of the Peloponnese and its inhabitants' sense of a shared
identity. Competing centripetal and centrifugal tendencies operated
alongside the influence of external forces to make Peloponnesian
identity of greater or lesser significance within larger political
worlds. Through papers focused on all or most of the region, the
Conference will explore how a sense of the Peloponnese developed, was
transmitted, and fluctuated through time. This meeting will bring
together leading authorities with expertise in different periods and
intellectual domains.
