On May 14-15, 2020 we are organizing another symposium in Izmir, entitled 
Cappadocia and Cappadocians in the Hellenistic, Roman and early Byzantine
periods (third century B.C.-seventh century A.D.). An international
symposium on the southeastern part of central Anatolia in classical
antiquity. We will inform you about this new symposium in the next time
which is free of charge. You are more than welcome to submit an abstract
on this new subject. Please inform your friends and colleagues about this
forthcoming event. Thank you in advance.
