Description

In conjunction with the 2008–9 exhibition Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy within the Second Millennium B.C. at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a series of lectures brought together major international scholars in various fields all in favour of the worlds of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean within the middle and late Bronze Ages. Interconnections among these wealthy and complex civilizations extending from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean were developed in detail, ranging from reports of new archaeological discoveries and insightful art historical interpretations of material culture, to innovative investigations of literary, historical, and political aspects of interactions among these great powers. This symposium volume, containing twenty-eight essays, is a perfect companion to the exhibition catalogue, providing compelling overviews of the traditional Near Eastern and eastern Mediterranean cultures all the way through this era which are both broad and deep of their range.
