- **Event Description**: Join us for an exploration of the archaeological history of an ancient capital that became a historic Christian city.

Sardis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known from the Bible as one of the seven cities of Revelation. Excavations at this ancient Turkish city have revealed major changes in pagan sanctuaries during the fourth and fifth centuries AD—a period shaped by the recognition and spread of Christianity in the eastern Roman Empire.

For the last 18 years, Dr. Cahill (University of Wisconsin– Madison) has directed the excavations at Sardis. In this lecture, he will reflect on what he has learned through decades of fieldwork.

This lecture is sponsored by the Madison Biblical Archaeology Society and the Archaeological Institute of America – Madison.
