Join us for the annual Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with David Abulafia (University of Cambridge) on March 27 at 4:30 pm. Please RSVP on the Medieval Studies website linked below. The role of the Black Sea in medieval trade is often seen from the perspective of its links to the so-called Silk Roads stretching all the way to China, particularly in the wake of the Mongol conquests, or from the perspective of its links across the Mediterranean to the Italian cities whose merchants established trading colonies on its shores. This lecture attempts to shift the emphasis towards what was going on within the Black Sea itself, with its massive supplies of grain, wax, slaves – and caviar.
