SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Lecture: “Art and Architecture of a Forgotten Kingdom” by Malcolm Bell III"
DESCRIPTION:"\rThe Hellenistic kingdom of Syracuse in eastern Sicily fell to Rome at the end of the Second Punic War.  As a result of this violent conquest many of the achievements of the preceding half-century of peace came to be obscured and even forgotten under Roman domination, and to some extent they have remained so to the present day.  The death in the siege of Syracuse of the great scientist and mathematician Archimedes can symbolize the enormous cultural losses of this moment of violent change.  The lecture casts light on the innovative and progressive character of earlier Syracusan Hellenistic art through works of sculpture, mosaic, terracotta, and silver, as well as the ambitious architectural programs of the metropolis of Syracuse and other cities within the kingdom, including Akrai and Morgantina.\r\rThis event is organized by the Central Illinois Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and hosted by the Spurlock Museum.\r\rUPDATE: Date and time changed 9/22/14.\rUpdated 9/22/14.\r"
