Public Lecture: Laure-Sarah Ethier (UdeM)

Laure-Sarah Ethier (UdeM) will deliver the lecture, "Argilos After Philip II: Fortifying Lands, Cultivating Wealth." 

Abstract:

Following its conquest by Philip II of Macedon in 357 BCE, the city of Argilos was abandoned, and its land redistributed to a Macedonian general. Responsible for overseeing his territory within the expanding Macedonian realm, he also capitalized on the region’s olive oil production, as evidenced by the remains found on the Acropolis of Argilos. This talk will explore the dual role of Argilos in the post-conquest period, highlighting its strategic significance and economic exploitation under Macedonian rule.

This event is co-sponsored by the CCSA and the AIA, Montreal Society.
