The fall of Troy and the establishment of Trojans in Tenea and Rome bound the fate of these faraway places.Tenea was very active in lower Italy and Sicily, especially in its colony of Syracuse. Later on, the Roman conquest of Greece strongly brought forward these connections and legends. The discovery of Ancient Tenea has stimulated archaeological research in this domain. Tenea project involves the study and archaeological excavation of the ancient city of Tenea, which has started coming to light these passed years in the Corinthia. In 2018 it was internationally recognized as ranking among the fifteen most important archaeological discoveries worldwide. The conference’s aspiration is the communication of Greek and foreign scholars and researchers from the fields of Archaeology, Architecture, Archaeometry, specialists in cultural communication and cultural resources, archaeological sites and museums, History, Mythology, Linguistics and Topography, all connected to the subject of the conference. The conference is connected to the celebration of the year of Troy. As such a scientific colloquium on this subject takes place for the first time, we are positive that it will produce fertile conclusions regarding relevant archaeological studies. Specifically, the objective is the exchange of opinion between researchers, considering all the new evidence and data, which we believe will lead to synergies and development of new cultural itineraries. The three cities Troy Tenea- Rome and their broader environment are connected through a common past and their study as whole will assist in the further apprehension and interpretation of the historical and archaeological data. Important finds from Tenea exist in museums in Greece, Germany and the USA. Through the conference we wish to inform the broader public on this subject of international interest.
