The Classical Studies Graduate Program is pleased to announce that Professor Simcha Gross (University of Pennsylvania), author of Babylonian Jews and Sasanian Imperialism in Late Antiquity (Cambridge UP, 2024), will be on campus to discuss his book on Friday, November 8, at 11am in Room 607 Hamilton Hall.

This in-person event has an author-meets-readers format. We are circulating in advance the Introduction and Chapter 5 (pages 1-32 and 197-238). Also included is Chapter 1, for those interested in learning more about the interventions discussed in the Introduction. Please see the selections attached.

After an introduction by Professor Seth Schwartz (CU Departments of Classics and History), Professor Gross will discuss the book, engage in dialogue with Ayelet Wenger (CLST), and answer questions from attendees in a seminar-style format.

A short reception will follow the event. We hope that you can join us!
