]]>Students will have the opportunity to become familiar with the nature of epigraphic documents, will be introduced to the expertise required in the field of Greek epigraphy and will understand how inscriptions are invaluable documents for the knowledge of Ancient History. The course will have a strong on-site element as the students will be asked to study and copy the stones that record ancient Greek inscriptions. A prior knowledge of Ancient Greek is strongly recommended.
The program will start on the island of Paros where classes will take place both at the archaeological museum of Paros, on site outdoors and in the classroom. A day trip to Antiparos and Despotiko is scheduled. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Aegean Sea and engage in constructive recreation.
From Paros we shall all travel as a group by ferry boat and the program will continue and end with a four day stay in Athens, where the students will pay visits with expert guidance to the Epigraphical Museum of Athens which houses the largest collection of Ancient Greek Inscriptions worldwide. In Athens, students will also have time to explore the city and visit archaeological sites on their own.

]]>Nel 2025 sarà l’Università di Roma Tre a curare l’organizzazione del SAEG IX. Come da tradizione, il principale intendimento è di lasciare ampio spazio alla presentazione delle ricerche di studiose e studiosi in formazione; tuttavia, il nostro auspicio è che, accanto ai loro interventi, le relazioni di ricercatrici e ricercatori di più lunga esperienza creino quel connubio di competenze e prospettive che da sempre ha positivamente animato questi Seminari.
Chi voglia proporre una relazione da presentare al SAEG IX, su un qualunque aspetto inerente all’epigrafia greca dalle origini fino alla tarda antichità, può inviare entro il 15 giugno 2024 la propria candidatura all’indirizzo saeg2025@uniroma3.it, contenente:
Le richieste verranno sottoposte a valutazione da parte degli organizzatori. La durata di ciascuna relazione sarà di 20 minuti. In base alla quantità di candidature ricevute, si valuterà la possibilità di aprire anche una sezione poster, nel qual caso sarà diramata una circolare dedicata.
Seguiranno comunicazioni ulteriori e dettagliate circa le sedi di svolgimento del convegno e il programma definitivo. Inoltre, è già disponibile la pagina web www.officina-igxiv2.org/saeg-ix-2025 che contiene tutte le informazioni aggiornate relative al convegno a alla quale si potrà fare costante riferimento.

]]>28 February 2024, 15:00–16:30.
Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London.
Led by Gabriel Bodard, Abigail Graham, Benet Salway.
This seminar explores methods for creating accurate records of inscribed surfaces in paper, that are lightweight and portable yet relatively durable. In some cases these records, the result of direct sensory engagement with an inscription, can provide advantages and insights over photographs or autopsy in reading an inscribed text. The bulk of the session involves hands-on experience making squeezes (pressing wet filter paper onto the surface of the stone using a firm brush to create a 3D impression) and rubbings (an image created by rubbing a rendering material over thin paper placed on the surface). We will also discuss the relative advantages of these and other methods, including digital 3D imaging.
Free but booking essential.

]]>Practical Epigraphy Workshop 2024: Corinium Museum, Cirencester, 18-20 June
With the help of expert guidance, participants will gain direct experience of the practical elements of how to record and study inscriptions in museums or in the field (the making of squeezes; imaging and measuring inscribed stones; and the production of transcriptions, translations and commentaries). The workshop is aimed primarily at undergraduates who will be entering their third and / or final year of study next September and at graduates in any year, though we will consider applications from others who wish to develop hands-on skills in working with epigraphic material (those in full-time permanent employment may be asked to meet the full cost of participation: please ask for details). The workshop is open to those with or without previous epigraphic training and participants may choose to work on texts in either Latin or Greek. The course fee for student participants will be £120 for this three-day event including accommodation on Tuesday and Wednesday nights for those not based in Oxford and food for all participants from lunch on Tuesday to lunch on Thursday.
Closing date for applications and receipt of references: 12.00 on Friday 16 February 2024

]]>The post New resource: A tale of two wives (and four husbands?): the story of two exceptional women from Imperial Rome appeared first on Current Epigraphy.
]]>These women, Allia Potestas and Flavia Sophe, though in very different ways, seemingly embraced unconventional marriages and had unconventional relationships, the details of which remain mysterious for us.
The film has been written by Dr Davide Massimo (Classics and Archaeology – University of Nottingham), Dr Chiara Cenati and Mirko Tasso (Ancient History – University of Vienna), who feature in the film. It was directed by Federico Zanotti with the assistance of Daniele Comelli.
The film was funded by the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies of the University of Vienna and supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture – Museo Nazionale Romano, the University of Nottingham, and the British School at Rome.
It was officially released on the Youtube channel of the University of Nottingham in December 2023.
We really hope that you will enjoy this short film and that you will share your opinion with us by leaving a comment on Youtube.
If you are a teacher or if you work in a museum, we would also be particularly grateful if you could share with us your experience with your pupils or museum visitors by sending us an email (chiara.cenati@univie.ac.at or davide.massimo@nottingham.ac.uk).
