In collaboration with the Heyman Center for Humanities, the Classics Department will be having an event celebrating the recent publication of Professor Katharina Volk’s The Roman Republic of Letters. In her book Volk explores a fascinating chapter of intellectual history, focusing on the literary senators of the mid-first century BCE who came to blows over the future of Rome even as they debated philosophy, history, political theory, linguistics, science, and religion.
This event will take place in-person at the Heyman Center and virtually over Zoom. We ask that everyone register via Zoom, even those who plan to attend in-person. For more information please visit either the events page at Columbia Classics or The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities.
