CALL FOR PAPERS
www.romanseminar.com
Over the last decades a significant number of new discoveries, research papers, articles and
books have made evident the growing interest in the archaeology and history of Greece during
the Roman period. The study of the Roman past of Greece is beginning to emerge as a field of
equivalent importance to that of other periods of Greek antiquity.
The Roman Seminar, in cooperation with the Institute of Historical Research of the National
Hellenic Research Foundation, will organize the International Conference Whats New In
Roman Greece, which will focus on the archaeology of the Roman provinces of Greece from
the time of Augustus until the 4th century A.D. The conference aims at providing a lively forum
to present and discuss the latest findings, new theoretical perspectives, as well as the future
possibilities in this promising field of classical studies.
Topics of the papers, which will focus on synthesis and analysis of the archaeological evidence
in its cultural, historical, and archaeological context, will include but not be limited to:

Urban archaeology
Rural archaeology
Architecture and archaeology of buildings
Visual culture and arts
Economy and trade
Religious space and activities, funerary rites
Cultural management and presentation of Roman period monuments

Papers are expected to be 20 minutes long and will be followed by 10 minutes of questions and
discussion. The languages of the Conference are Greek and English. Interested speakers
should submit the title of their paper and an abstract of about 300 words to
romanseminar@gmail.com by 30 January 2015. Accepted papers will be announced by the
end of February 2015. The proceedings of the Conference will be published.
