Today, when we want to tell stories about ourselves or others, we can share pictures or videos on social media, send texts or emails, or even write books. In this tour, we will look at some of the ways that people in the ancient Mediterranean communicated stories to one another. We will look at examples of media and messages that people shared (such as pictures), as well as informal and formal texts from the ancient Middle East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome.

This event is free and open to all visitors.
