P.J.Cherian's Research Coordinator at University of Rome is a Biblical Scholar, Not an Archaeologist,


Dr.Federico De Romanis , a professor at the University of Rome who came to Thiruvananthapuram  to conduct a six-week crash course in Greek and Latin with special reference to Kerala history and ancient Indo-Roman trade relations, that has been organised as part of KCHR’s multi-disciplinary research for its ongoing Muziris Heritage Project.“Research shows that the Roman Empire had a roaring trade via the Arabian Sea with South India especially Kerala from around A.D. 1 to 6. Greek and Latin are a necessary tool to unearth the early history of Kerala,” says Dr. Romanis (The Hindu August  27-2009 Thiruvananthapuram Edition)Dr.Federico De Romanis shall be research coordinator for P.J.Cherian at University of Rome. It seems that no eminent archaeologist is willing to be Cherian's accademic coordinator outside India.
