Kelsey Book Club | Babylonia

Gabe Key, IPAMAA
Thursday, September 17, 2026
6:00-7:00 PM
Newberry Hall, Room 124 Kelsey Museum of Archaeology Map
From the author of the bestselling Clytemnestra comes an intoxicating excursion into ancient history, as Costanza Casati reimagines the rise to power of the Assyrian Empire’s only female ruler, Semiramis. Weaving together myth and history, Babylonia (2025) transports readers to the heat of the Assyrian Empire and a world long gone—giving Semiramis a voice and charting her ascent to the throne.

Join us in Room 124 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Gabe Key, PhD candidate in the Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology. Light refreshments will be served.
