[2] Calls for Papers <Back>

From: Nicola Terrenato, University of Glasgow <terrenato@katamail.com>

Nic Terrenato (UNC-CH) and Peter Van Dommelen (University of Glasgow) are organizing a session on "Cultural hegemony and local identities under the Expanding Roman Republic" for the next Roman Archaeology Conference, to be held in Glasgow on March 30-April 1, 2001. The aim of this session is to explore the issue of social and cultural change at grassroots level in various regions of the Mediterranean as these became part of the expanding Roman Republic, eschewing the stale debate on Romanization.
