Brouma Vasiliki, Heydon Kendell (eds.) Conflict in the Peloponnese: Social, Military and Intellectual

Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies (CSPS), School of Humanities, University of Nottingham, 2019. — 168 p. — Proceedings of the conference held in Nottingham 22-24 March 2013.On 22-24 March 2013 the second CSPS Post Graduate and Early Career Work in Progress Conference, entitled Conflict in the Peloponnese: Social, Military and Intellectual was held at the Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies at the University of Nottingham. Preceded by an equally successful postgraduate conference in 2011, this conference brought together a number of prominent postgraduate students and young scholars from different disciplines such as ancient history, literature and archaeology.The publication of the proceedings was an idea which started articulating shortly after the conclusion of the conference and we are delighted to see it finally materialise. Regrettably, not every delegate was able to contribute due to copyright issues or other constraints.The main theme of the conference, which was preceded by the CSPS Annual Lecture by Dr Thomas Heine Nielsen entitled ‘Coalition Fighting in the Late Archaic and Classical Greek World’, was the notion of social, military and intellectual conflict in the Peloponnese from prehistory to modern times. Conflict is a key theme in the history of the Peloponnese diachronically and this conference made an original and significant contribution across disciplines.
