Visual culture in Rome’s Provinces

The Classical Archaeology Seminar of the Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology in Spring Term 2017 is on Visual culture in Rome’s Provinces. Young researchers and prominent international scholars will present papers on the multilayered and astonishingly heterogeneous in character visual culture in Rome’s Provinces, addressing local and regional diversity as well as the distinct cultural environments that affected artistic production.

Seminars take place on Tuesdays at 16:00 and are located either in the Arts Building (Room 201) or in Strathcona Building (Lecture Theatre 6) on the North campus of the University. All are most welcome to attend. Papers typically last 50 minutes and are followed by questions and discussion over refreshments, and there is often an opportunity to join the speaker later over dinner.
