Receiving Byzantium, Byzantium Receiving
Vienna, May 16-17, 2025

The theme of the conference, Receiving Byzantium, Byzantium Receiving, invites exploration of Byzantium’s dual role as both a recipient and a transmitter of cultural influences. Byzantium both engaged with the classical traditions it inherited and interacted with its neighboring traditions. Recent scholarship as well as popular representations of Byzantium have expanded the discourse on these issues and opened fresh perspectives on the Byzantine Middle Ages.
