SUMMARY:Communities of piety from Late Antiquity to Byzantium
DESCRIPTION:The rise of the holy man and the development of monasticism are one of the defining features of Late Antiquity that also shaped the subsequent centuries of medieval Byzantium. While theologians and other authors tend to insist on the superiority of monasteries as a space for the practice of virtues\, men and women of lay status also found ways to express their piety in communal settings. There is a wide range of evidence across the centuries that can demonstrate how communities of piety were shaped and organized\, thus calling into question the assumed divide between the holy and the secular life. \nClaudia Rapp has been Professor of Byzantine Studies\, University of Vienna\, where she moved after almost 20 years at UCLA. She is the interim Director of the Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences\, Member of several learned academies\, editorial and advisory boards\, and has held numerous fellowships (including at the Institute for Advanced Study) and visiting professorships. \nHer research focuses on social and cultural history\, often from the angle of religious history and manuscript studies. Holy Bishops in Late Antiquity: Christian Leadership in an Age of Transition\, published in 2005\, was re-issued in paperback in 2013. Her most recent book\, Brother-Making in Late Antiquity and Byzantium: Monks\, Laymen and Christian Ritual (2016) has led to the formation of the Euchologia Project at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Funding through the Wittgenstein-Award has enabled her to assemble a team of scholars for the joint investigation of Mobility\, Microstructures and Personal Agency. She is the Scholarly Director of the Sinai Palimpsests Project. \n

SUMMARY:The Scale of Space in the Roman World
DESCRIPTION:This talk attempts to provide a theoretical framework for analyzing the phenomenon of scale in the Roman world. Space is not the same at different scales\, and scale is not the same at different times. Previous scholars have explored how Romans understood space differently at different scales\, most obviously in work on large-scale space as hodological rather than cartographic. Riggsby revisits Rambaud’s foundational work on space in Caesar\, BG\, arguing that the three types of space Rambaud distinguish (geographical: Gaul as divided into three parts; strategic: a few days’ march; and tactical: the distribution of troops on a battlefield) are not differentiated by scale but by use context. Yet if we consider how contemporary theories of scale in geography define scale\, the two curve back round to meet: scale itself is not a given but is formed by practice. Once we realize this\, it is possible to track change over time. I argue that the arrival of the empire as a new scale of cultural relevance changed Roman understandings of scale as well as space. \nAmy Russell is an Associate Professor of Classics and History and Director of the Program in Early Cultures at Brown University. She has lived and worked in the US\, the UK\, and Italy. Her research focuses on Roman Republican and early Imperial political and cultural history\, with an enduring interest in space and architecture. Her previous work has been honored with the Goodwin Award and the Philip Leverhulme Prize. She is currently working on monuments of the imperial Senate; the institutional form of the populus Romanus\, and the spatial turn in Roman studies. \n

SUMMARY:Taxing the Rich in the Just City: Cicero and Dionysius on Fiscal Fairness
DESCRIPTION:In 43 BC the Roman senate decided to levy tributum\, a direct tax on property\, on citizens for the first time since its suspension in 167 BC. Roman citizens were once again confronted with the question of fiscal fairness: who should bear the burden on behalf of the republic? Cicero recognized the urgency in 43 BC and was disappointed when his wealthy peers did not contribute their fair share. In general\, however\, he considered property rights to be natural or pre-fiscal\, so the state’s purpose was to protect them. Cicero’s normative political theory was\, in this respect\, less consistent with what I call an autonomous fiscal state than his Stoic models. He and his peers in Rome’s oligarchy celebrated King Servius Tullius for entrenching property rights into the constitution by means of the census. Cicero’s contemporary\, the Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus\, on the other hand\, presents a more democratic version of the Servian reforms and articulates a compensatory justification of taxation by an autonomous fiscal state. \nAndrew Monson is an ancient historian interested in Greek relations with the Near East\, the Hellenistic kingdoms (especially Ptolemaic Egypt)\, and the eastern Roman Empire\, with interests in economic and social history as well as political theory and institutions. His publications cover topics such as administration\, religion\, private associations\, land tenure\, taxation\, agriculture\, law\, economic development\, and social relations. His books include: From the Ptolemies to the Romans\, and Agriculture and Taxation in Early Ptolemaic Egypt and he recently edited a volume with W. Scheidel\, Fiscal Regimes and the Political Economy of Premodern States\, for Cambridge University Press and is now writing a book about taxation in the ancient world. \nPlease RSVP to Barbara Leavey\, blleavey@princeton.edu\, if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:The problem of Roman copies: A Transatlantic Dissent
DESCRIPTION:When Professor Giuliani entered the field of Classical Archaeology\, there seemed to be a widespread consensus that ancient Roman sculptors had frequently copied Greek statues from the 5th and 4th centuries BC. This consensus has come under lively attack since about 1990. The revisionist movement started in the US but has rapidly spread and consolidated. Today it seems to have established itself as a new orthodoxy. It claims that exact copies did not exist in antiquity; the myth of Roman copies would have been invented by German archaeologists of the late 19th century; this myth should be abandoned if we want to reach a more adequate and less biased understanding of Roman art and Roman culture. From early on\, the two dissenting camps (one based in Germany and continental Europe\, the other one spreading throughout English-speaking academia) have made little effort to communicate with each other\, and the lack of communication has\, in turn\, favoured the emergence of sectarian certitudes. This is hardly satisfactory. \nProfessor Giuliani was born in Florence in 1950. He studied Greek and Roman archaeology\, Social anthropology\, and Italian literature in Basel and Munich\, receiving my Ph.D. in Basel (1975). For more than ten years\, he was a curator at the Antikenmuseum in Berlin (West). After the fall of the wall\, he moved from museum to university\, teaching first in Freiburg and then at the Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität in Munich. From 2007 to 2018\, he served as rector of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin – Institute of Advanced Study\, where he still holds the position of a Permanent Fellow.

SUMMARY:Theorizing Women in the Ancient World Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This project puts feminist and gender theory in dialogue with primary sources from the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. A multi-departmental and cross-disciplinary group\, we look together at primary sources from various religious\, geographical\, and linguistic traditions spanning roughly 500 BCE to 500 CE. During the 2020–2021 academic year\, we will discuss the female prophetic role through the eyes of the Sibylline Oracle as reimagined in Judaic and early Christian literature; feminine language for the divine in Syriac Christianity; sexualization of violence in early martyr acts; scribal practices that obscure women’s voices in ancient Egyptian letters; issues surrounding female performance of masculinity; gendered power dynamics in early Jewish and Christian ascetic communities; and issues of body\, cleanliness\, and purity in society. This reading group is also supported by the Program in the Ancient World.\nAll are welcome to attend.\n\nTo receive the month’s readings or to be added to the group mailing list\, contact Rebekah Haigh (rhaigh@princeton.edu) or Emily Chesley (echesley@princeton.edu). \n  \nSchedule: Third Thursdays of the month\, 6–7:30 pm\, on Zoom (https://princeton.zoom.us/j/99334620093)\n\nSeptember 17: The Female Prophetic Role\nOctober 15: Sexualization of Violence\nNovember 19: Women Performing Masculinity\nJanuary 21: Feminine Language for the Divine\nFebruary 18: Gendered Power Dynamics in Ascetic Communities\nMarch 18:  Conceptions of Masculinity\nApril 15: Cleanliness\, Ritual\, and Gender

SUMMARY:Working for the Emperor: Behind the Scenes at Antium
DESCRIPTION:In 1711\, fragments of a monumental inscription (known today as the Fasti Antiates Ministrorum Domus Augustae) were found in the fill of a small\, unusual room located behind the scaenae frons of a theater on the site of the imperial villa at Antium. The room seems to have served as the meeting hall for a voluntary association comprised of the enslaved and formerly-enslaved men who worked on the site for the emperor\, taking care of the villa’s treasures\, which included marble sculptures and imported works like the bronze krater of Mithridates Eupator. This talk will look at how we can use this inscription and other material\, mostly funerary\, to see imperial palaces and villas in a new way – looking beyond their characterization in literary authors as places of extravagance and luxury\, to see them as places of work and community. \nMolly Swetnam-Burland received her PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology from the University of Michigan\, and teaches at William and Mary. She is the author of Egypt in Italy: Visions of Egypt in Roman Imperial Culture (Cambridge 2015) and co-editor of Reuse and Renovation in Roman Material Culture: Functions\, Aesthetics\, Interpretations (Cambridge 2018) and Women’s Lives\, Women’s Voices: Roman Material Culture and Female Agency in the Bay of Naples (Texas 2021). \nPlease RSVP to Barbara Leavey\, blleavey@princeton.edu

SUMMARY:‘Disturbed’ memories? Tomb reuse in central Apulia in the 4th century BCE
DESCRIPTION:Tomb re-opening in the ancient Mediterranean has been generally treated in scholarship as a transgressive act of violation against the memory of the deceased. Yet\, the practice of re-opening and re-using tombs seems to be a widespread and accepted phenomenon in pre-Roman Italy.  This paper discusses the relationship between graves and collective memory\, focusing on tomb violation in Central Apulia in the 4th century BCE. I argue that this practice\, paired with the general lack of grave markers and post-depositional rites\, ancient looting\, and the unclear boundaries between settlements and necropoleis is part of complex local strategies where the local communities alternately rejected\, incorporated\, and reinvented memories of their own past to create a narrative about themselves and legitimize their newfound power. \n  \nBrice is an Assistant Professor of Classics at Rutgers University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati and has held fellowships at the ASCSA\, the A.D. Trendall Research Center\, and the American Academy in Rome. She has worked at sites in Italy\, Turkey\, and Greece. Her research focuses primarily on burial practices in Southern Italy\, and the relationship between the construction of cultural identity and the consumption of specific artifacts\, especially pottery. Currently\, she is writing a social biography of the inhabitants of pre-Roman Apulia\, using burials as my main source of evidence\, and is about to start a new project on Hellenistic pottery in Tarquinia. \nPre-registration is required\, and in-person attendance will be capped at 20 participants. Registrations will be confirmed via email on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nRegister Here \n– All attendees must wear face coverings.\n– Ability to social distance may not be possible.\n– Princeton ID/Prox cards are required to enter the building. \n

SUMMARY:Flame Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:PAW is co-sponsor of the FLAME 2022 Conference \n  \nThis conference will bring together an international group of scholars who have worked on Princeton’s FLAME project\, as well as leading scholars on the late antique and early medieval economy worldwide. Over three days\, speakers will present new findings centred on the research priorities of the FLAME project. Participants will share insights on economic\, political\, and social changes throughout this period\, but will also reflect upon the  historiographical and methodological problems posed by the project itself. The papers will involve insights from a significant global region\, as FLAME’s scope ranges from Gibraltar to southeastern India. An exhibition of coins relating to the conference from the Princeton University Numismatic Collection will accompany the conference and will be on display outside of East Pyne 010 on March 18th and 19th. \nLocation and Zoom link: East Pyne 10 (March 18th & 19th); Firestone Library C-10-H (March 20th).
