The Circle of the Epigones aims to design and support international projects in the years ahead dedicated to the protection, scientific study, and promotion of major archaeological sites whose history sheds light on the great civilizations of the ancient world. Its work will focus on preserving endangered heritage, strengthening local capacities, supporting academic research, and promoting the transmission of cultural knowledge to local communities and future generations alike. By engaging in regions that preserve a shared and universal legacy, the Circle affirms that cultural heritage is a living bond between peoples.

In North Africa, the association will seek to promote major sites such as Volubilis, Timgad, the Amphitheatre of El Jem, and Leptis Magna. These exceptional sites bear witness to the encounter between local traditions, Berber heritage, Punic influences, and the expansion of the Roman world. Future projects may focus on architectural conservation, the digital documentation of monuments, training in heritage-related professions, and the development of responsible cultural tourism that benefits local communities

In the Near East, the Circle of the Epigones also aims to support heritage preservation programs at Palmyra, Dura-Europos, Petra, and AlUla—iconic sites that once stood at the crossroads of caravan trade linking the Mediterranean, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. Through these initiatives, the association will seek to protect archaeological remains threatened by the passage of time or by conflict, while promoting research into the commercial, artistic, and religious exchanges that shaped the region for centuries.

The association also intends to develop projects linking Susa and Ai-Khanoum, two major archaeological sites that are essential to understanding the Persian, Hellenistic, and Central Asian worlds. These initiatives would help highlight the history of the intellectual and political exchanges between East and West, from the Achaemenid Empire to the kingdoms that emerged in the wake of Alexander the Great.

Through an approach grounded in trust with its local partners, scientific expertise, and international cooperation, the NGO aims to ensure that these sites become not only witnesses to the past but also cultural and educational resources for the future. Each project will seek to combine heritage preservation, local development, and intercultural dialogue.
