”Aquí, lo que dejaron los puñales.
Aquí esa pobre cosa, un hombre muerto
que se llamaba César."
"Here, what the daggers left behind.
Here this poor thing, a dead man
who was called Caesar."
During his university studies at “La Sapienza” in Rome, Dimosthenis participated in several national and international projects, such as the study of Latin epigraphy and Roman pottery as well as various archaeological excavations in different areas of Rome (Roman Forum, Palatine, Mausoleum of Augustus). His work as an archaeologist brought him to carry out research in classical art and architecture, exploring in particular the relationship between iconography and architecture as ancient Greek and Roman artistic expressions. Dimosthenis completed his Ph.D. with a thesis on temple architecture in the Italian peninsula during the Republican period. This topic became his area of expertise. His knowledge of archaeology, ancient art history and Roman architecture is the key that he uses to share his unique perspective on the Eternal City.

Very informative. It was interesting to get more detailed information about Julius Caesar.
Excellent Presentation. Well researched, well organized and presented with great archaeological and historical detail.
I always enjoy Dimo's presentations and came away curious to learn more. He packed a lot of information in but made it very interesting.
A group of friends and I are hoping to follow Caesar's path to assassination when it's possible to visit Rome again. This talk was full of useful information - though we hope Dimo will be available to guide us then.
