 Autumn- Winter term 2011/12: Late Antique & Byzantine Seminars

For those of you who live and work in London and have an interest in Byzantium, you would certainly like the seminars run by the Department of Centre for Hellenic Studies at Kings’ College.

The Winter Term programme is now published. Events are free to all and will be held in room B6 on the Strand Campus. There is no need to register; just turn up by 5.30 pm. For a map of the campus click here.
