On Thursday February 16, 2012 at 6.30pm Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar, in collaboration with the Salesians of Don Bosco, is organising a talk on The Maritime History of Malta: the Neolithic, the Punic, Roman and Medieval periods.
Dr Reuben Grima, well known for his connection to the sea and the prehistory of Malta will talk about this mysterious and fascinating period. The first accounts of history were written with the arrival of the Phoenicians and later on the Romans. Professor Anthony Bonanno will cover these phases and explains how Malta became a strategic maritime island. The Medieval history of Malta is slowly being unravelled by Maltese scholars. One of these historians, Charles Dalli, addresses the maritime story of Malta and Gozo during the Middle Ages.
Daniel Cilia will accompany the speakers with his photography from the book The Maritime History of Malta, the first millennia, published by the Salesians of Don Bosco and Heritage Malta which the authors will sign after the talk at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard.
The public is requested to be seated by 6.15pm, Those wishing to attend are invited to book by emailing bookings@faa.org.mt or phoning Carmen on 9980-6060
