Conference
December 16 - 17, 2022
Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum presents the Epigraphy of Weights Workshop for undergraduate and graduate students as part of its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. The program, which embraces an interdisciplinary perspective to explore the topics of weight and measures that are often overlooked in the studies on epigraphy, is designed with a view to providing young researchers working on ancient history and archeology with the necessary theoretical and practical foundation.
Attendees will enjoy seminars on the science of epigraphy on the first day of the two-day program, which consists of seminars and workshops. The second day of the program will focus on practical work, and the epigraphy of Anatolian weights will be further explored through case studies and workshops.
The Epigraphy of Weights Workshop will be held face to face at Pera Museum. The language of the program is Turkish. The program is free to attend and students coming from outside Istanbul have to pay for their own accommodation and transportation.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series starts with Pelin Buzluk's story "Coal"! TThis series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
The series of paintings depicting the audience ceremonies of European ambassadors hold a unique place among the works of Jean-Baptiste Vanmour of Valenciennes, who lived in İstanbul from 1699 until his death in 1737.
