Our anthologies of in depth articles will take us to destinations within the Mediterranean basin and without, looking at archaeological sites, visiting museums and exploring the landscape against which the events that have occurred over the last few thousand years have taken place. We will also be including accounts of some historical events that took place in the Mediterranean area that may be ancient or modern that I found unusual and fascinating or unknown and even more fascinating.
Each anthology will consist of a number of articles that make up a complete account. One of the beauties of this is that, as new information becomes available, we can continue our explorations and add updated articles.
