A page from the Ottoman regulation on antiquities (1906) and its draft translation by Dr. Artemis Papatheodorou developed as part of her MSCA-funded research project MMARe - Modern Mediterranean Archaeological Regimes in a Global Context. By its conclusion, MMARe will have provided all the key Mediterranean laws on archaeology adopted between 1789 and 1945 in English translation.
Today we mark #InternationalProvenanceResearchDay - #TagderProvenienzforschung! Thanks to funding by #MSCA, #MMARe contributes to provenance research & the #HistoryOfArchaeology also by providing a corpus of English translations of the Mediterranean archaeological laws from 1789 to 1945. Stay tuned!

Popular twins! Yesterday NASA launched Artemis II to the Moon. The ancient Greek moon goddess Artemis had a twin brother, Apollo, a sun god. A key book through which Ottoman Turkish readers were introduced to western-style history of art was titled "Apollo."

Western Approach to the Acropolis, Athens; Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey; French; 1842; Not on view Girault’s panoramic view of the famed ancient Greek Acropolis is dominated by the tall building known as the Frankish Tower, one of many Byzantine, Frankish, and Ottoman structures added to the hilltop citadel over the centuries. After Greek independence (1832), most non-Classical features were cleared away—when Girault visited, much of the site was covered in rubble—and the tower was demolished in 1875. In Girault’s mirror-image view, the tower is flanked by the Parthenon (on the left) and the Propylaea. For this and more information, check the Metropolitan Museum of Art https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/702991
On #GreekIndependenceDay let's dig into Greek #HistoryOfArchaeology: In 1834, newly independent Greece adopted one of the first laws on antiquities in the world. But where has the Frankish tower of the Acropolis shown in this 1842 photo gone today? #MMARe attempts to answer this. #MSCA
