Competition and Celebration figured largely in the lives of the Roman people. Both were fundamental to Roman religion, art, theatre, politics, and sociology. This conference will be a one day conference for students to present papers on aspects of competition and celebration in the Roman world. We invite submissions of abstracts from graduate and senior undergraduate students of Classics, Archaeology, Art History, Religious Studies, History, Anthropology, and related disciplines. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by March 1, 2000.
Shared papers are also welcome.
Limited billeting is available with host graduate students. TRIP The Department of Ancient History and Classics at Trent University is now advertising a course on the Archaeology of Greece, including a two-week trip to Greece, to investigate archaeological sites spanning the Bronze Age to the Roman period. While priority is being given to students enrolled in the course, spots on the tour of Greece are available to members of the general public. With its large specialized library and serene wooded campus in Washington, D.C., the Center offers professional classicists an opportunity for full-time research in a collegial environment. Where necessary, the Center can provide some assistance with transportation expenses.
