Roman Literature and Archaeology in Dialogue: a Pot, an Adulteress, and the Materiality of a Comic Fiction
Friday, September 19
12:30 PM
Clark Hall Room 206
What happens when a literary scholar and an archaeologist put their heads together? Classics professors Evelyn Adkins and Mark D. Hammond combined their expertise in Roman literature and archeological ceramics to uncover fresh insights into a comic tale from the ancient novel The Metamorphoses (also known as The Golden Ass). In this bawdy story of adultery which features a very large storage jar (dolium), they show how reading texts alongside the objects they describe opens up new ways of understanding ancient life.
This event gives students a window into what it means to study Classics today. Whether you’re already majoring in Classics or just curious about the field, join us to explore interdisciplinary research within Classics and ask big questions about how a Classics education develops critical thinking, historical and cultural awareness, and skills that remain relevant in any career path or civic life.
This is a first-year EXPLORE event and will include an informal lunch.
