Olympia, the Palaistra, details of various colonnades re-erected and now standing (Professor Fred Winter, 1986)

From my first visit to the Acropolis, I realised the impact of encountering archaeological sites in person, rather than in a textbook. Entering the Acropolis through the Propylaea, the sheer scale of monumental architecture is immediately overwhelming. As someone who has only studied Classics for a year and a half, the time I spent as an intern at the CIG was an intensive introduction to the field beyond undergraduate classrooms.
