About this event
A book presentation and conversation between Martin Zimmermann and Hermann Parzinger. Zimmermann's argument is that the nostalgia and romantic melancholy modern visitors bring to ancient ruins is itself a modern invention, and he re-reads Troy, Mycenae, Nineveh and Pompeii as the people of antiquity would have seen them.
Why we picked it
Two serious ancient historians in conversation about how antiquity saw its own ruins, free at the Thyssen foundation.
