Department of Classics The Nineteenth Annual Michael I. Rostovtzeff Lecture

Rostovtzeff Symposium
Wednesday, November 11, 8:30-Noon

On the morning following the annual Rostovtzeff Lecture, the Department hosts a symposium in conversation with this year’s lecturer, Sara Forsdyke (University of Michigan). Building on themes from her lecture, “Democratic Justice. The Jury Trial in Ancient Athens” the symposium brings together faculty and graduate students for a series of short presentations and responses on Prof Forsdyke's lecture by Adriaan Lanni, Amalia Kessler, Matthew Christ, and Melissa Schwartzberg followed by open discussion. The Rostovtzeff Lecture honors Michael I. Rostovtzeff, Sterling Professor of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology at Yale, whose work on the social and economic history of the ancient world continues to shape the field.

All are welcome. [Light breakfast will be served.]
