Conference about the Impact of Alexander’s Campaign - 14-15/12/2017, Barcelona (Spain)
The topic of the conference is the impact of the Macedonian conquest (338-279 BC). Indeed, we are very interested in a scope that can observe the victims of this conquest, and the changes the conquest meant for the people involved, both conquerors and conquered.
