Primordialist or Ethno-Symbolist’s Perception regarding Carthaginian Statehood

Abstract

A series of seminars on Nationalism in the Ancient World, organized by Professor Zurab Kiknadze, were held at Ilia State University, Tbilisi on May 6 and 24. The seminars were designed for students and professors to question the assumption that nationalism is a concept unrelated to ancient societies and that nationhood and nationalism began to evolve from the Renaissance onwards.
