This volume is largely based on papers
presented at the international conference “Beyond Cyprus: Investigating
Cypriot Connectivity in the Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to
the End of the Classical Period”, that was held digitally on 8–11
December 2020, under the auspices of the Institute of Historical
Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation.
The
conference was organised by the editor of the volume as part of a
postdoctoral research project under the same name (acronym CyCoMed),
funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) and
the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) within the
framework of the first HFRI advertisement for postdoctoral research
projects, under grant agreement no. 481.
The principal research
questions treated in the volume are closely related to the examination
and interpretation of Cypriot archaeological, epigraphic and numismatic
evidence from extra-insular sites, as well as to the definition of the
role Cypriots may have played as participants in the maritime contacts
of the ancient Mediterranean. All 41 papers contained in this volume
were externally reviewed and revised for publication. They cover a time
range that spans approximately the Middle Bronze Age to the Roman period
(early second millennium BC to ca AD 300). Equally numerous are the
geographic entities examined, covering a large area, from the eastern
Mediterranean and the Black Sea to the Iberian Peninsula, thus providing
an overview of Cypriot evidence throughout the Mediterranean.
