SUMMARY:Rewriting the history of Greek slave systems
DESCRIPTION:The history of Greek slavery has been usually approached in a static and myopic way. After the supposed emergence of slave societies in archaic Greece\, it is usually assumed that nothing significant changed until late antiquity. At the same time\,  Greek slavery is usually tantamount to slavery in classical Athens; as a result\, the slave systems of the Eastern Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and Imperial periods remain little studied and generally unknown. This lecture aims to present a new framework for the study of Greek slave systems that incorporates both spatial diversity across the Greek-speaking Eastern Mediterranean and temporal change from the archaic to the Roman Imperial period. \nKostas Vlassopoulos studied in Athens and Rethymnon and obtained his PhD in 2005 from the University of Cambridge. From 2005 to 2015 he taught ancient Greek history at the University of Nottingham. Since 2015 he has been teaching ancient history at the Department of History-Archaeology of the University of Crete\, where he is an associate professor. In 2019 he became a collaborating faculty member at the Institute of Mediterranean Studies (IMS)\, while from 2022 he is the Director of the Department of the Ancient and Byzantine World at the IMS. He directs an international research program (2023-2028) funded by the ERC on the role of slaves in the historical development of ancient societies between 1000 BC. and 300 AD \nHis research interests include a variety of topics\, such as the history of ancient slavery\, the history of globalization and intercultural relations in antiquity\, comparative history and the history of ancient political thought and its contemporary reception. He is the author of seven monographs and dozens of articles. His books include: Greeks and Barbarians (2013)\, Communities and Networks in the Ancient Greek World (2015)\, My Life: Everyday Stories of Slaves from Antiquity (2020)\, Historicising Ancient Slavery (2021)\, Greek and Roman Slaveries (2022)\, and Enslaved Persons and their Multiple Identities in Ancient Societies (2022).

SUMMARY:Who’s your tent-buddy? The social worlds of Athenian women
DESCRIPTION:Despite significant scholarly advances\, current thinking about classical Athens still too often views Athenian women through the lens of the marital relationship and the obligation to produce citizens. In reality\, women could shape for themselves diverse and expansive roles and relationships—as friends\, neighbours\, employees\, employers—that were not determined by their roles and relationships as wives or polis-members. Through these relationships\, they developed networks which cross-cut the legal and household boundaries that supposedly determined Athenian social structure. This talk examines two means by which women articulated the boundaries of their social worlds: commemoration and religious practice. Whom did women put up gravestones for\, and how did they describe them? Whom did they invite to their parties and picnics? When they camped out\, who shared whose tent? \nKatherine Backler is the Career Development Fellow in Ancient History at Trinity College\, Oxford. She primarily works on ancient Greek social history but teaches across Graeco-Roman history and literature. After an undergraduate degree in Classics at Corpus Christi College\, Oxford\, she was awarded a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College\, where she did her doctorate. She is working with translator Martin Hammond on a new Oxford World’s Classics edition of Lysias’ speeches\, and her first book\, Athena’s Sisters: Reclaiming the Women of Classical Athens\, is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. Her current research project explores women’s authorship of Greek inscriptions. \nPlease register here if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:Clay\, Sand\, Water\, Hand\, Body\, Mind\, Form\, God: Crafting Belief in Ancient Italy
DESCRIPTION:It is well known that Roman life was steeped in religious practice. Historians also generally understand that the predation of an imperializing\, centrally administered government in Rome began to deploy religion as a syncretizing\, assimilationist and appropriative measure in Italic and Mediterranean occupation from the third century BCE\, at least. This is probably true\, and the violent and insidious epistemicide that followed is increasingly well documented. Still\, the idea of Roman religion as a kind of imperial weapon imagines in some ways a world where\, before and during conquest\, there had been such a thing as Roman religion and that those who organized its institutions and oversaw its influences were elite sociopolitical figures. In this talk\, Prof. John Hopkins will contend with both suppositions by considering the creative intelligence of itinerant\, often non-Roman maker communities\, the constitutive ecologies of sacred materials\, and the effective roles of sacro-material creation in ritual encounters and religious institutions before and during the early years of Roman expansion. They will present the urgent need to re-examine these worlds as well as a new initiative\, the Antefixa Project\, which is harnessing scientific and computational imaging methodologies to recover the contributions of communities that have been silenced but were essential to sacred life in ancient Italy. \nJohn Hopkins is Associate Professor of the art and archaeology of ancient Mediterranean peoples in the Department of Art History and the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. They are author of The Genesis of Roman Architecture (2016\, Yale UP\, winner of the Spiro Kostof Award from the Society of Architectural Historians)\, Unbound from Rome: Art and Craft in a Fluid Landscape (2024\, Yale UP)\, and co-editor of Object Biographies: Collaborative Approaches to Ancient Mediterranean Art (2020 the Menil Collection and Yale UP) and Forgery Beyond Deceit: Fabrication\, Value and the Desire for Ancient Rome (2023\, Oxford UP).  They are also co-director\, of the Quirinal Project and director of the Antefixa Project. \nPlease register here \n

SUMMARY:Seeing and Hearing Divine Music in Ancient Greek Art
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines Athenian vase-paintings and reliefs that depict the gods most frequently shown as musicians. Drawing on recent work in sensory studies\, Carolyn argues that images could visually suggest the sounds of the gods’ music. This representational strategy\, whereby sight and sound are blurred\, conveys the “unhearable” nature of their music: because it cannot be physically heard\, it falls to the human imagination to provide its sounds and awaken viewers’ multisensory engagement with the images. \n  \nCarolyn M. Laferrière is the Assistant Curator of Ancient Mediterranean Art at the Princeton University Art Museum. She is the author of Divine Music in Archaic and Classical Greek Art: Seeing the Songs of the Gods\, and is the Associate Editor for Greek and Roman Musical Studies. \nPlease RSVP here if you plan to attend. \n

SUMMARY:The End of Popular Participation? City Politics in Post-Imperial Hispania
DESCRIPTION:By the sixth century\, political\, social\, and demographic changes brought traditional popular urban participation in late antique Hispania to an end. This crisis\, however\, did not result in a complete abandonment of non-elite participation. While sources tend to downplay the intervention of non-elite actors and favor the view of a “universal” consensus\, the written evidence occasionally betrays the political action of popular or middling groups. This talk offers different criteria to conceptualize non-elite actors in the textual and material evidence and advances some ideas on how to approach non-elite participation in post-imperial cities. \n  \nDamián Fernández is Associate Professor of History at Northern Illinois University. He has published on the social\, institutional\, and economic history of the Iberian Peninsula in late antiquity\, including a monograph titled Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia\, 300-600 CE. He is currently co-authoring a translation and commentary of the seventh-century law code known as Liber Iudiciorum. \nPlease register here if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:Were the Ancient Greeks Responsible for Antisemitism?
DESCRIPTION:This talk addresses a widespread notion that the roots of antisemitism lay in the Hellenistic period\, as Greek rulers and populace found the Jews to be divisive\, seclusive\, misanthropic\, and alien. It examines closely the principal episodes regularly cited as exhibiting deep Greek hostility to the Jews\, such as the persecutions of Antiochus IV\, the slanders and libels spread by Greek intellectuals\, and the “pogrom” in Alexandria. The talk attempts to reassess these actions and attitudes in the circumstances of the ancient world rather than through the lens of modern experience.” \nErich S. Gruen is Gladys Rehard Wood Professor of History and Classics\, Emeritus at the University of California\, Berkeley. He owns degrees from Columbia\, Oxford\, and Harvard. He is the author\, among other works\, of The Last Generation of the Roman Republic\, The Hellenistic World and the Coming of Rome\, Heritage and Hellenism: The Reinvention of Jewish Tradition\, Rethinking the Other in Antiquity\, and Ethnicity in the Ancient World – – Did It Matter?

SUMMARY:Citizenship as the City’s Revealing Mirror: Comparative Considerations on the Content and Historical Context of Citizenship in ancient Athens and Rome
DESCRIPTION:Lunch talk with PAW Magie Lecturer\, Kostas Buraselis. \nTo precisely define a certain citizenship in both the ancient and the modern world is not at all a simple effort. For this human condition combines both theoretical-legal and practical aspects and tends to exceed the clear contours of specific rights and tasks. Citizenship includes above all a sense of belonging to a human civic society\, big or small\, and of somehow complying with its set of principles and rules. Thus\, the concept and practice of being a citizen of a certain city/country necessarily contain or reflect at least some crucial marks of the self-understanding and the intellectual and ideological foundations of that city and/or state. It will be here attempted to apply these thoughts to the data of Greek (esp. Athenian) and Roman citizenship in classical antiquity and thus try to gain a comparative view of how exactly these data correspond to the other features and structures of the corresponding cities and societies. \nPlease RSVP to Barb Leavey (blleavey@princeton.edu) if you plan to attend.

SUMMARY:Roman Citizenship and its Value in the Roman Empire until and after the Constitutio Antoniniana
DESCRIPTION:Civitas Romana (Roman citizenship) was a key instrument of Roman imperial policy of expansion in the Mediterranean area and beyond it. From Augustus to the age of the Severans (roughly 1st-beginning 3rd cent. AD) it has been acquired by many provincial non-Romans (peregrini)\, who have been thus gradually integrated into the mechanism of Roman rule until the final act of the universal grant of Roman citizenship by Caracalla in 212 AD. The conditions and the precise content of this long development and that concluding step will be addressed as historical problems\, against the relevant bibliography\, in this lecture. \n  \nKostas Buraselis will give the 2023 PAW Magie Lecture\, Emeritus Professor of Ancient History\, Former Vice-Rector and Advisor of the Rectorate on Academic Affairs and International Relations at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. \nHe has served as head of the Committee of International Relations/ NKUA; head of the  Department of History and Archaeology of NKUA; Vice-Rector of NKUΑ on Academic Affairs and International Relations; and currently Advisor of the Rectorate on Academic Affairs and International Relations (September 2018-)\, Vice-President of the Committee for Evaluation and Certification at the National Hellenic Authority for Higher Education (2020-) and  corresponding member of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut and member of various scholarly societies. \nHe was appointed visiting lecturer on various occasions at universities and scholarly institutions in Europe\, America and China. \nMember of the editorial/advisory board of the periodicals Archaiognosia\, Classica et Mediaevalia\, Mediterraneo Antico\, Pharos\, Tekmeria\, and of the scholarly series HABES (Heidelberger Althistorische Beiträge und Epigraphische Studien). \nΜain interests/areas of scholarly activity: political and institutional history of the Hellenistic world and the Roman imperial period in the Greek East\, ancient ruler cult\, modern historiography on the ancient world. \nAuthor of four scholarly books (in Greek\, German and English) and editor/co-editor of thirteen national/international collective volumes and a longer encyclopedia chapter (in ThesCRA II) on subjects of his field (Ancient History). \n  \n

SUMMARY:480 BCE: The Making of a World Historical Date
DESCRIPTION:Please see event details and registration on the Hellenic Studies Webpage \n\nEVENT CO-SPONSOR(S)\n\nProgram in the Ancient World\nCenter for Collaborative History\, Department of History\n\n\n\nThis paper will discuss the ways in which the significance of the date 480/79 was elevated in the course of historiographical developments of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.  Most particularly\, it will emphasize the ways in which readings of Herodotus’ Histories changed over this period\, as Christian readings of the first books gave way to a new\, but never fully convincing Whiggish emphasis on the ‘clash of civilizations.’ I hope to show not only that that The Histories do not need to be read in this way\, but that centuries of readers have provided us with many alternative visions of the lessons we might learn from ‘the father of history.’

SUMMARY:On the Edge of the World: Rome’s Fluid Frontier in Northern Britain
DESCRIPTION:Britain was the last region in Western Europe conquered by the Roman Empire. However\, its occupation was never completed: despite several campaigns by Roman armies\, most of the northern territories remained free of direct Roman rule. Over several generations\, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire moved back and forth between modern-day northern England and southern Scotland\, creating a fluid borderland of encounters and resistance. This lecture will provide an overview on the interactions between Roman power and indigenous communities\, presenting some results from new research projects that are fundamentally transforming our knowledge of the period between c. AD 70-400. Moreover\, it will reflect on what the evidence from a rather peripheral region of the ancient world can contribute to wider debates on borderlands and the limits of empires\, past and present. \nManuel Fernández-Götz is Abercromby Professor of Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. His main research interests are Iron Age and Roman societies in Europe\, the archaeology of identities\, and conflict archaeology. He has authored over 200 publications and directed fieldwork projects in Spain\, Germany\, the United Kingdom\, and Croatia. His research has been recognised with the award of the Philip Leverhulme Prize and the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Thomas Reid Medal. He is currently directing the Leverhulme- funded project ‘Beyond Walls: Reassessing Iron Age and Roman Encounters in Northern Britain’.
