This is something that makes me proud: the first edition of the #PhDAI.reports, the #archaeology #journal made by the #DAI #doctoral #students, is out and was made possible by the efforts of Kerstin Brose, Julienne Schrauder, Annika Skolik, Katharina Zerzeropoulos, and me. Florian Barth has helped us on editing and management. Everything was supported by the DAI, an institution that really believes in the new #young #researchers.

@archexis Congratulations!

I've just added a reference to your article to the #PleiadesGazetteer page for Albintimilium:

Alb(i)um Intimilium/Albintimilium: a Pleiades place resource

Alb(i)um Intimilium/Albintimilium (modern Ventimiglia) was the main settlement of the Ligurian tribe of the Intemelii. In the 2nd century BC it came under control of the Roman Republic. Albintimilium became a municipium in 89 BC in the tribus Falerna. In the same period the city walls were built, with several towers. The city flourished in the early Imperial period, with baths, an acqueduct and a theater. In the 6th and early 7th century it was a Byzantine kastron, coming under control of the Longobards in 641. During the 7th and 8th century the Roman city was slowly abandoned in favour of a smaller hilltop settlement focused around the Cathedral.

Thank you @telliott ! Would it be possible for me to update the Gazetteer page of Albintimilium? I think I can change something after my doctoral thesis.
