In this directory, you will find the speakers, photos, and summaries of the annual conference series In Poseidon's Realm, which has been held since 1995. Within just a few years, In Poseidon's Realm has grown into an internationally renowned and well-attended conference. The key to its success lies in our cooperation partners, whose support enables us to organize events on current topics in underwater archaeology. Occasionally, topics that do not primarily belong to the field of underwater archaeology are also chosen, such as our eleventh conference on transport ceramics. Connections like these serve as important forums for exchange between terrestrial and underwater archaeologists as well as other scholars.
In Poseidons Realm XXX
In Poseidons Realm XXX 2025
IPR XXX has set itself the goal of building bridges between nautical and limnic archaeology in the Mediterranean region and its inland waters on the one hand and the visual sciences on the other, from early history to late antiquity.
At the same time, the acute interest of research in the various aspects
of maritime and fluvial transport should be taken into account.The focus will be on three main topics:
1. ancient depictions of ships or shipping, pictorial works on ships and ship models
2. the transport of artefacts, as illuminated above all by wreck finds (e.g. Mahdia/Tunisia and Antikythera/Greece)
3. (Digital) images and reconstructions of pre-modern ships, shipping routes and transport logistics.
The program for our anniversary conference IN POSEIDONS REICH XXX with the main theme Shipping | Images at the Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg , Germany, from April 8th to 13th, 2025 is now finalized.
Attached you will find the registration forms for speakers with thescientific program and the socio-cultural program
with information on accommodation. It offers the opportunity to visit archaeological and art-historical sites and museums with different themes. Excursions into the Franconian countryside and receptions follow. A seminar and a visit to the special exhibition on models of ancient watercraft are further highlights.
Please note that the number of participants in the socio-cultural program is limited. Therefore, please return the completed registration form as soon as possible.
We
hope that, in addition to your scientific interest, you will also enjoy
the extensive socio-cultural program with many events and surprises. We
expect informative and instructive days of scientific exchange and a
cozy get-together with old and new colleagues and friends.
The registration form for the conference program and the accompanying program, including information on accommodation, is available for download.
We look forward to welcoming you to Würzburg in April 2025 and
wish you a relaxing holiday season and all the best for 2025.

Fundraising Appeal of the Martin von Wagner Museum
The Martin von Wagner Museum not only houses its own exhibits but also benefits from a collection of generous long-term loans from private collectors.
Recently, an heir of one of these collections has requested the return of the loaned items for sale but has at least granted the Martin von Wagner Museum a right of first refusal.
The collection primarily consists of exquisite ancient artworks, some of which hold unique historical significance—for example, an amphora featuring the earliest known depiction of a seven-stringed lyre.
One particularly rare piece is the "pregnant" doll, a late Hellenistic terracotta figure with movable arms and an abdominal flap that conceals a replica of an embryo. Only one other such example is known worldwide.

Seminar: Greek Ceramics in Context
Using original artifacts, we explore the chronology of ceramics from the Mediterranean regions. Beyond examining manufacturing techniques, purpose, and function, we also consider the networks and usage of vessels, transporting us into the world of the 1st century BC.
Through crowdfunding, we aim to at least secure the preservation of an "interactive" drinking cup, which regularly serves as a key exhibit in guided tours to explain the Greek symposium.
The Martin von Wagner Museum therefore kindly asks for support through donations.
The DEGUWA contributes with the proceeds from the revenue of the NAS special course.
