Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies (CSPS)

Description

The region of Greece known as the Peloponnese has played an important role in the politics and economy of the Eastern Mediterranean from prehistory to the formation of the modern Greek nation. Classical Sparta has exercised an especially significant influence, both in its own day as a powerful ancient state and in later times through the impact of its legend on medieval and modern global thought.

The Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies (CSPS) draws together the significant range of research and expertise on the region within the University of Nottingham: academic staff, research fellows and postgraduate research students, primarily from the Department of Classics and Archaeology, who work on diverse aspects of the region’s archaeology, history, and classical tradition, from prehistoric times to the present day. The Centre – unique in its aims and scope worldwide – acts as a focus for international academics and researchers working on the area.
