We are launching into water a summer edition of our “Nicolaus Olahus – Connecting History” series of lectures, a project made by the “ISTROS” Society for Historical Sciences, with the support of American Institute for Southeast European Studies.
Our international guest for the evening of Wednesday, 20th July, 6.00 PM (EEST), is Dr. Alexander Harizanov, assistant professor (chief assistant) at the Department of Classical Archaeology in the National Archaeological Institute with Museum, at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He obtained his Bachelor and Master degrees from the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, while in 2015 he defended his doctoral dissertation at the same university with the topic “Ceramic kilns in the territory of modern Bulgaria from the 1st to the 6th c. AD”, which was published as a book in 2019. His current research interests are focused on the organization of ceramic production and the Empire’s economy in the Eastern Balkan area during the Roman and the Late Antique periods, the importation of Eastern sigillata B and C in Roman Thrace, and also the Late Roman Glazed pottery production in Dacia Mediterranea and Dacia Ripensis.
