Diplomacy and technology in the Roman Empire: a focus on the Byzantine period [Webinar]

29 April 2014

Online

Event description

After the collapse of Rome, Byzantium continued the tradition of the Roman Empire, constantly attempting to restore its glory. Join us for our new Advanced Diplomatic Webinar on Evolution of technology and diplomacy with Jovan Kurbalija.
With regard to diplomatic practice, Byzantium took the first step towards establishing an apparatus for managing foreign relations, some sort of early Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Without the power and the control of the old Roman Empire, Byzantium had to revert to diplomacy to a greater extent. Surrounded by hostile tribes in the Balkans, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, it used sophisticated techniques to keep them under control.

Join us for the April webinar in our series of ‘Evolution of diplomacy and technology’.
Webinar is hosted by Dr Jovan Kurbalija, on Tuesday, April 29 2014, at 13:00 GMT (15:00 CET)
