Prof. dr. Svetlana Slapšak: The Piglet who Died on the Way

Part of the Communication and Mobility in Antiquity series

The famous comic epitaph provides the piglet with an insight into procedures, mechanisms and ways of travel, from maps to means of transport.
From antique cartography to understanding space and the speed of information transfer – war needs, politics, colonisation and tourism are related inextricably. Here, an overview of ancient scientific achievements provides crucial new knowledge, from an ancient computer found on the Antikythera Island to other information, orientation and speed machines.


The lecture will be presented in Slovenian, no simultaneous translation is provided
