BAF Lecture: Phoenicians’ Cultural Influence in the Levant/Israel with Carolina Lopez-Ruiz, The Ohio State University

Wednesday, March 23, 2022 • 20 Adar II 5782

8:00 PM - 9:00 PMZoom

As the Levant recovered from the Late-Bronze-Age systems-collapse, the Phoenician population centers offered the fragmented Levantines an inspiring continuity with the lustrous urban world that had once been exemplified by Canaanite Ugarit. Growing ever more prosperous through its commercial and colonial ventures in the western Mediterranean, Tyre, the greatest city of Phoenicia, stood out as a beacon of exploration and innovation. 

From architectural traditions to ancestral institutions, artistic models, including sphinxes and volute capitals, and alphabetic writing, the Phoenicians were active agents in fostering and setting standards for a uniquely Levantine culture. In turn, in the process of selective adaptation of this Phoenician culture, Israel emerges as an active participant in the Mediterranean-wide and regional networks, while forging a unique local identity.
