Joyce Reynolds will host another Epigraphic Saturday in Cambridge on May 18. The day will follow a different format to previous ones: as many of you will know, Joyce is currently working on an on-line corpus of the inscriptions of Cyrenaica, and rather than having a main speaker from overseas she would like to present and discuss some of the problem texts from the Greek cities of Cyrenaica. The day will start at 10.30 (with coffee) for 11.00, with Cyrenaican problems before lunch and short papers by others in the first half of the afternoon. The format will be seminar-style round a table; could you please let Michael Crawford know if you would like to come and whether you would like to offer a short paper (imagines.italicae@sas.ac.uk).

Internationale Tagung anläßlich des 1900. Jahrestages ihrer Einweihung

CIVIC HONOURS – LES HONNEURS CIVIQUES
The politics of honour in the Greek cities of Roman Imperial times (http://www.honneurs-civiques.org/en/) invites you to a workshop in Tours on 6 April 2013

The collective research project “Civic honours” is concerned with the system of public honours that Greek cities bestowed upon their good citizens and foreign benefactors (praise, crown, statue, prohedria, public funerals, and so on). The aim of the project is to study the development of this system, and in particular the rise of honorific monuments, during the Imperial period (1st-3d c. AD), when the Greek world had become part of the Roman Empire. Co-directed by Anna Heller and Onno van Nijf, this international project brings together scholars from France, Greece, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom, who employ various approaches and methods: epigraphy, archaeology, literature, linguistic theory. After several workshops in France, Greece and the Netherlands, a final international conference, scheduled for the Spring of 2014, will gather all participants and will be followed by the publication of a collective volume. (See for a report on Athens workshop of 2 February 2013: http://www.honneurs-civiques.org/en/athens/).

Admission is free. If you want to attend the Tours workshop, please contact one of the organizers: Anna Heller: anna.heller@univ-tours.fr or Onno van Nijf: o.m.van.nijf@rug.nl, with a copy to Camille Prieux: cethis@univ-tours.fr.
