This is incredibly important to improve Nashville Parthenon programming and share results for grant reporting.

In this recorded virtual symposium from June 16, 2021, Dr. Steven L. Tuck of Miami University presents on underwater archaeological discoveries in "Decorating the Emperors' Dining Rooms: Underwater Discoveries and Changing Understanding."

Professor Tuck’s talk focused on important underwater archaeological finds at two Roman sites: Sperlonga and Punta Epitaffio, two Roman villas of Julio-Claudian emperors in Italy. By studying the sculptures of mythology scenes, archaeologists can develop new ideas and continue learning more about how the artifacts were used in antiquity. After his presentation, Professor Tuck dedicated time for questions and discussion with the virtual audience.

Dr. Steven L. Tuck holds a Ph.D. in Classical Art and Archaeology from the University of Michigan, and is a Professor in the College of Arts & Science at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

This is part one of the three Summer Symposia connected to The Antikythera Mechanism exhibition at the Nashville Parthenon, which is on display from June 4 through September 26, 2021.
