Roundtable: A World in Transition-The Second Century Mediterranean Between Continuity and Change

  • Department of Classics at Columbia University in the City of New York 1130 Amsterdam Avenue, 404 Hamilton Hall, MC 2861 New York, NY 10027 USA (map)

We invite you to attend and participate in a small gathering within the Classics Department that will focus on the character and importance of the Second Century BCE in work being done by department members. Discussion will include considerations of the possible distinctiveness of a "late Hellenistic" period, overlaps and divergences between Greek and Roman cultural fields during the second century, and many others. Especially at this late point of notice, this will be an informal event; participants will present works-in-progress of their ongoing research into all matters second-century. All are welcome and encouraged to present their ongoing work, in whatever stage of completion. We hope that you will join us!

The event will take place on Friday, May 9th from 11a-1p in Hamilton 404 and we hope to see you there.
