Prof. Els Rose, Dr Megan Welton (both Medieval Culture), and Dr Saskia Stevens (Ancient History) will open the workshop and Welton and Stevens will also present in the programme. The workshop will be held on a digital platform.
Ancient and medieval city walls
In the ancient, late antique, and the early medieval worlds, city walls both projected strength and indicated insecurity. These impressive and prominent constructions dominated the urban landscape and oriented the movement of citizens. Likewise, these enclosures sought to delineate those who did and did not belong, physically marking the inclusion of its citizens as well as signifying the exclusion of whoever and whatever threatened to harm the physical, symbolic, and ritual integrity of the city. During the workshop, various speakers will highlight ancient and medieval walls from different perspectives.
