Saskia Kerschbaum

I have written my PhD Thesis about the innovative character of long distance aqueducts as reflected in the inscriptions and about the influence of this new water infrastructure on sociocultural changes in imperial Asia Minor. Afterwards I have finished a one year postdoc-project about the coinage of Bithynian Nicaea. Currently I am working as lecturer at the chair for numismatics in Frankfurt. My research interests include epigraphy and numismatics of the Greek East (with a special focus on Asia Minor) and the interaction of text and image on coins.
Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Christof Schuler (DAI), Prof.Dr. Martin Zimmermann (LMU), and Prof. Dr. Fleur Kemmers (Goethe Universität Frankfurt)

The representation of the gods, as can be shown, is still influenced by an antique (Roman) style, but are also shaped by the visual world of the renaissance.

Despite its mountainous framing, the geographical setting of the Ohrid region provides the broadest accessible link between the Aegean and the Adriatic regions in the southern Balkans and was, vice versa, an eminent pre-condition for the formation of supra -regional networks in the past. Placed on this communication route, which is embodied by the widely known Via Egnatia, the region represented an important hub in the cultural connectivity between the Aegean, the Adriatic see, and the Balkans. As a response to the lacking of systematic investigations, this paper presents a reconstruction of the pre- and protohistoric habitation in the region. Reviewing past archaeological discoveries and recent data collected during the first two field seasons conducted within the frame of the project Frontier Studies, this paper focuses on the settlement organization and traces its development as well as corresponding phenomena, such as connectivity and response to environmental changes, diachronically from the Neolithic down to Late Antiquity.
