António M. Saez Romero

Professor of Archaeology at the University of Seville, he has participated in excavation and survey projects in Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Gibraltar and Greece. His research focuses on the Phoenician and Punic world, ancient economies, maritime connectivity and the links established between Phoenicians and Greeks throughout the 1st millennium BC. Collaborating with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, he leads the research on the Punic Amphora Building at Corinth, an exceptional case for the analysis of economic connections and long-distance trade with the Punic world in the 5th century BC, and also investigates other evidence of Phoenician trade and interactions in the Aegean before de Roman Era (see https://grepure.us.es/). His interests also include the study of “glocal” phenomena and cultural, economic and technological hybridization in the ancient Mediterranean world and its heterogeneous network of peripheral communities, focusing on the archaeological and science-based study of the material record.
