Of temples & favourite things
Do you have a favourite thing? Something you can't part with? What does this object say about you? What about the time in which you live? Archaeologist Matthias Grawehr asks himself these and other questions about personal objects in antiquity.
Matthias Grawehr found his way to archaeology through the joy of working with his hands. The language and culture of the Romans and Greeks also aroused his interest at grammar school. This led him to study Classical Archaeology, Art History and Near Eastern Archaeology and later to write his dissertation in Classical Archaeology. He now specialises in Hellenistic and Roman architecture, Roman imagery and the archaeology of the Levant in Hellenistic and Roman times.
