We are taking last bookings for the very interesting talk on Phoenician/Punic Malta that Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar is organising next Tuesday 18th March. Despite the fact that there are only few surviving architectural remains from the Phoenician-Punic period of the Maltese archipelago (circa 700 BC to 218 BC), the period is in fact very rich culturally. The Phoenicians introduced writing to these islands which means that besides interesting small finds, many inscriptions have been retrieved from Phoenician-Punic sites in Malta and Gozo. Professor Anthony J. Frendo, former head of the Department of Oriental Studies as well as that of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta, will make this shadowy period come alive with his talk about the art, architecture, culture and trade of this community that placed Malta at the centre of the Mediterranean trading routes in the first millennium BC. To reserve a place, please email [email protected] or phone 99820159 Date: Tuesday 18th March 2014, 6.30pm (eve of a public holiday), Venue: Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard. A 5Euro donation towards FAA’s art restoration projects is kindly solicited. A heritage publication sponsored by Midsea Books will be given to all participants. Refreshments will be served after the talk. This event has been made possible through the kind sponsorship of the Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard, FimBank and Da Vinci Hospital.
