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.

90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
I very much enjoyed the discussion of the Etruscan civilization. The images shown were very helpful in understanding the importance of the Eutruscans to the development of modern culture and knowledge. After this discussion I am hungry to learn more... we still have the Northern part of Tuscany, e.g. Populari and Volterra to learn about the Etruscan towns and art found there.
Very informative: History, art, architecture, Answered all questions.
An excellent introduction to the history, archaeology, art and legacy of the Etruscan civilization. Dr. Kosmopoulos is an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable presenter.

Lecture was very done and the Etruscans are fascinating
Dr. Kosmopoulis's presentation provided a lot of detailed information in a very easy to understand manner. I learned much about the Etruscans which I didn't know before. The maps he provided made it easy to understand the cultural, geographical and political changes which happened to the Etruscans. I would be eager to attend another lecture by Dr. Kosmopoulis.
