Achaemenid Royal Inscriptions Reading Group

A student-led, low-pressure reading group focusing on the inscriptions of the kings of the Persian Empire 550-330 BCE. 

The inscriptions are often multilingual, written in Old Persian, Akkadian and Elamite. Knowledge of at least one of these languages would be helpful, but a beginner’s introduction to the Old Persian language will be provided, so no linguistic experience is required. 

​

We will be meeting weekly on Friday afternoons 2pm-3pm both in person (room tba) and online.
