Fall Speaker Series: Dr. David Ratzan
Saturday October 18th
Cocktails @ 6:00 pm // Program @ 6:30 pm
Dr. David Ratzan is Director of the NYU Amheida Excavations. For the last 25 years, Columbia and NYU have excavated the site in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis, some 400 miles west of the Nile River valley in one the most inhospitable deserts on Earth. David will share what has been unearthed and what that has taught us about the economy and society of the Roman Empire from an outpost at its furthest edge.
Followed by an Egyptian - inspired dinner in the Tavern.
