Did medieval kingdoms need a government to function? For a new perspective on this question, join Professor Hugh Kennedy (School of Oriental and African Studies, London) and Professor Frederik Buylaert (Ghent University) for the launch of SHOC member Dr. John Latham-Sprinkle's book, 'The North Caucasian Kingdom of Alania, 850-1240'. The evening will include an introduction by Professor Kennedy and a Q&A session open to audience members, followed by a Georgian wine reception. The event will be held in English, although questions in Dutch or French are welcome.
Please do not forget to register before 17 September if you want to participate.
