The Ancient Greeks in the Classical Period by Paul Thompson

A look at the Classical era in Greece covering a period of around 200 years between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The lecture will continue the story begun with the lecture last January about archaic Greece and will cover society and family life, material culture, fashion and warfare, using replica objects created from a fusion of written and archaeological sources together with slides introducing the wider architectural and geographical context.

Paul Thompson is an archaeologist who has worked at a considerable number of sites during his career and was a scheduled speaker at Current Archaeology Live 2023. He has given many lectures to CADAS, always informative and entertaining, including the 2019 John Shelton Memorial Lecture.
