Call for participants to an epigraphic workshop

BANDO PER UN LABORATORIO DI FORMAZIONE IN EPIGRAFIA DEL MONDO ROMANO SUL TEMA “LE CARRIERE AL SERVIZIO DELL’IMPERO”,
12-16 SETTEMBRE 2016
École Française de Rome, Piazza Farnese 62 – Roma

Sotto il patronato del Comité delle Rencontres franco-italiennes sur l’épigraphie du monde romain, l’École Française de Rome, Labex ARCHIMEDE e l’Università di Poitiers organizzano un laboratorio di formazione avanzata in epigrafia a Roma dal 12 al 16 settembre 2016. Questa iniziativa parte dalla constatazione della difficoltà di offrire corsi di livello avanzato nelle università francesi e italiane. Al di fuori di qualche sede privilegiata, l’offerta si limita a una iniziazione a questa disciplina, che pure è essenziale per la conoscenza dell’Antichità.
Questo laboratorio è aperto agli studenti a partire dalla Laurea Magistrale e fino al dottorato (con tesi sostenuta da meno di 3 anni), di ogni nazionalità, iscritti in un’università francese o italiana. Si richiede la conoscenza di base del francese o dell’italiano. Le lezioni saranno in queste due lingue, con il supporto di un PPT in inglese.
Il tema prescelto riguarda “Le carriere al servizio dell’Impero romano”. Le mattine dal 12 al 15 settembre saranno dedicate alla formazione teorica, con lezioni dei migliori specialisti francesi e italiani sulle carriere amministrative e militari dei senatori e dei cavalieri, sulle ricerche recenti in questi ambiti con interventi degli allievi su specifici documenti epigrafici. Tre pomeriggi saranno dedicati a ricerche “sul campo”, con visite guidate dei docenti nei diversi musei romani che possiedono ricche collezioni epigrafiche.
La settimana si concluderà il pomeriggio del 15 e la mattina del 16 con una tavola rotonda, alla presenza degli allievi, sul tema “I provinciali al servizio dell’Impero”, che presenterà ricerche in corso sull’argomento. L’ultimo pomeriggio sarà dedicato a una riflessione sul contenuto e lo svolgimento del laboratorio, attraverso uno scambio di idee tra docenti e allievi.
L’alloggio e il vitto saranno a carico degli organizzatori. Le spese di viaggio sono a carico degli allievi. Un contributo alle spese di viaggio potrà eccezionalmente essere concessa a un piccolo numero di studenti se la loro Università (attraverso i Laboratori o le Scuole dottorali) non sarà in grado di fornire un aiuto economico (in tal caso serve la dichiarazione da parte dell’Università).
Le domande, che devono comprendere una lettera con le motivazioni, un CV, l’attestazione del superamento di un esame relativo a un corso introduttivo all’epigrafia latina e una lettera di presentazione di un docente o di uno studioso, dovranno pervenire entro il 16 febbraio ai seguenti indirizzi di posta elettronica:
dondin_payre@club-internet.fr
gianluca.gregori@uniroma1.it
I candidati saranno informati dell’esito della loro domanda prima della fine di marzo.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Colloquium on ‘Roman Provincial Calendars and the Hemerologia’

University College London
Monday 4 – Wednesday 6 July 2016

The ERC Advanced Grant Project ‘Calendars in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages’ is delighted to issue a call for papers for a colloquium to be held on 4-6 July 2016 at University College London on the theme of ‘Roman Provincial calendars and the Hemerologia’.

Calendars were an important manifestation of cultural diversity in the Roman Empire, especially in the provinces of the Roman East, where the Julian calendar was generally not in use. The calendars of cities and provinces were very diverse, some remaining lunar or lunisolar, but most becoming adapted in a variety of forms to the solar, Julian calendar of the imperial rulers.

This diversity is evident in epigraphic sources, but most explicitly in texts known as Hemerologia, which are attested in a few early medieval manuscripts. The Hemerologia consist of calendar tables with the days of the Julian calendar in the first column, and in the rest of the table, the equivalent days in a range of calendars from the Roman Eastern provinces and cities. These texts are a powerful testimony of calendar diversity in the Roman East, but at the same time, of the standardization of these calendars and their assimilation with the 365-day year of the Julian calendar. The historical reality behind the Hemerologia was probably more complex and flexible than they convey. But by describing or indeed prescribing a changeless, fixed relationship between the Julian and provincial calendars, the Hemerologia may have played a critical role in the standardization of time reckoning in late Antiquity.

2nd North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy

2nd North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy

The Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (NACGLE) will be held Monday through Wednesday, January 4-6, 2016, at the University of California, Berkeley. A preliminary program is available here.

The congress, to be held in conjunction with the Joint Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America and the Society for Classical Studies in San Francisco (Wednesday through Saturday, January 6-9, 2016), will be the largest epigraphical event in the world for the year 2016. Building on the successful first NACGLE, which was held in 2011 at San Antonio, TX (click here for the proceedings), we continue our efforts to promote epigraphical studies in North America by inviting an array of young and senior international scholars to present their work to a large audience. The second NACGLE includes parallel sessions on Greek and Roman epigraphy, graffiti, calendars, and digital epigraphy; plenary sessions on new Greek and Latin texts, and one devoted to the epigraphy of Greek religion; and two keynote addresses by Angelos Chaniotis (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton), and Alison Cooley (University of Warwick).

The congress is sponsored by the Sara B. Aleshire Center for the Study of Greek Epigraphy, the Department of Classics, the Department of History, and the Graduate Group of Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology (AHMA) at UC Berkeley, as well as the Townsend Center for the Humanities, under the aegis of the American Society of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (ASGLE). Additional support is offered by the Association Internationale d’Épigraphie Grecque et Latine (AIEGL), and Brill Publishers.

The congress is open to the public but pre-registration (by December 1) is required. To register, please send an email to nacgle2016@gmail.com. There is no fee for registration. Further information and updates will be posted regularly on the website of the 2nd NACGLE.
