DocumentaryHistory

A projection towards antiquity, to go back to the origins of the alphabet, to discover the supports of ancient writings, to find Esculape, the divinity of medicine in Greece and his alter ego Eshmoun in Carthage, Dionysos, the god of wine and theater in Athens and its alter ego Bacchus in Rome, see Athenaeum and introduce us to the centuries-old tradition of the olive tree and oil...? To see closely life in the ancient Mediterranean in Carthage, Rome, Athens or Alexandria, we realize that several details of everyday life hardly differed from what we live today.
