Dejan Ristic – “Greece-A Collage of Ancient with a Hint of New”

The presentation will explore a small sampling of ancient Mycenean, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and medieval sites on mainland Greece while ignoring the Greek isles. Dejan is an ancient history nerd and this was a month long bucket trip visit last October 2024.

Because this is sort of a historical travelogue, it might interest some of you  to research or some of the places/battle sites before his presentation. (see the attached list)
