Do historical strategy games perpetuate, or challenge, historical characterisations of Hannibal Barca? How does this compare to Carthage itself alongside the role of the player in gameplay?
I'm excited to be presenting some of my research at Bristol's Classics and Ancient History seminar next week!
It was a real pleasure to write this, and has long been something I've wanted to give thought to.
If you're interested in Total War, historical games or especially Carthage, feel free to have a read!
We're now accepting submissions for papers for our 2025/26 seminar series!
You can send abstracts of 300 words to postgradwip@gmail.com along with a working title, your preferred term and mode of attendance.
Papers are around 45 minutes and can be connected with any aspect of the ancient world!
Really pleased to be one of three co-chairs for the 2025/26 @pgwip.bsky.social's PG work-in-progress seminar series based at @ics.bsky.social along with @carlosedes.bsky.social!
Looking forward to a great year of insightful talks and discussions ahead as part of my new PhD journey!
Hi @sesamescholar.bsky.social, just stumbled across your comments on the back of Bob's post. I'm a PhD student just starting out working on Carthage in games so if your student might be interested in reaching out to someone at a similar point in their journey I'm more than happy to help!
