Pawel gives a talk at the conference Cyprus in the Long Late Antiquity

Written by Paweł Nowakowski on Friday, January 15, 2021

Originally planned as an “in-person” meeting before the pandemics, the conference Cyprus in the Long Late Antiquity, organized at the University of Oxford, Ioannou Centre, by Ine Jacobs and Panayotis Panyides finally went online. The days 13–15 January were brimming with excellent papers on the island’s history between antiquity and the Middle Ages. On 15 January, Pawel gave a talk on small finds from Cyprus identified as amulets and charms averting evil, and contextualized them in a broader overview of Christian popular ritual practices.
