A page from the Ottoman regulation on antiquities (1906) and its draft translation by Dr. Artemis Papatheodorou developed as part of her MSCA-funded research project MMARe - Modern Mediterranean Archaeological Regimes in a Global Context. By its conclusion, MMARe will have provided all the key Mediterranean laws on archaeology adopted between 1789 and 1945 in English translation.

Western Approach to the Acropolis, Athens; Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey; French; 1842; Not on view Girault’s panoramic view of the famed ancient Greek Acropolis is dominated by the tall building known as the Frankish Tower, one of many Byzantine, Frankish, and Ottoman structures added to the hilltop citadel over the centuries. After Greek independence (1832), most non-Classical features were cleared away—when Girault visited, much of the site was covered in rubble—and the tower was demolished in 1875. In Girault’s mirror-image view, the tower is flanked by the Parthenon (on the left) and the Propylaea.
