From Homer’s epic to Christopher Nolan’s 2026 blockbuster, the Odyssey has never stopped capturing our imagination.

MASTERCLASS
Imperial Mosaics in Greece with guest Nikki Vellidis
September 27, 9pm Rome CET
Who actually made Rome’s great mosaics — and can we identify them by name? In this seminar, guest scholar Nikki Vellidis introduces a groundbreaking methodology for identifying individual mosaicists through close stylistic analysis of their work, using female figures from Imperial Greek pavements to recover the hidden hands behind some of antiquity’s most celebrated floors.
