Dr. Christelle Fischer-Bovet, a professor of Classics, History, and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Southern California, joins Lexie to discuss whether the lack of instruction past the death of Alexander of Macedon hinders efforts to study the history of the aftermath his death created, a short introduction to the uses and movement of papyri in the Mediterranean, and the relationship between Ptolemaic Egypt and Seleucid Persia.
