Martina’s primary research focuses on the Ptolemaic queens, with a specific interest on the role of Arsinoe II, on which she has numerous publications. Previously, Martina was Chair of Egyptology at Swansea University, and we warmly welcome her back to give this keynote lecture.

[Hellenistic Study Group in Wales @HSGW_CON]

We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker this year is Prof. Dr. Martina Minas-Nerpeel, Professor of Egyptology at Trier University. Her lecture is titled: "Manifestations of Ptolemaic power and dynastic struggles on the central east-west axis of the Amun Temple in Karnak"

[Hellenistic Study Group in Wales @HSGW_CON]

These restorations & relief decorations are researched & published by the Belgian-German Epigraphic Mission to Karnak, directed by Martina Minas-Nerpel and René Preys (Université de Namur).

...it was not only thought provoking, but epitomised one of the key consensuses of conference: the need to expand our understanding of the Hellenistic World in both space and time. Thank you again, Professor Kosmin! @harvardclassics

[Hellenistic Study Group in Wales @HSGW_CON]

A massive thank you to Professor Paul Kosmin from @Harvard University, @harvardclassics - for his fantastic keynote lecture "The Global and the Planetary: The Hellenistic World and the Tides of History"...

[Hellenistic Study Group in Wales @HSGW_CON]

Another really big thank you to all the staff at @UWTSD Lampeter - the excellent food from the 1820 cafe, the technical support from IT services, and accommodation services and the porters!

And the real piece de resistance.. this 15th century prayer book from Italy:

We'd like to give a very special thanks to the archivists at @UWTSD Lampeter library for allowing us to view their special collections. An enthralling hour looking through grand tour volumes, as well some 15th, 13th and 18th century manuscripts.

[Hellenistic Study Group in Wales @HSGW_CON]

A beautiful and unique medieval manuscript:
