Roman funerary landscapesJun 11Mittwoch, 11. Juni 2025 16:08
From contextual approaches towards perception in motion
International Conference
19th – 21th March 2026, Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier
Recent works in Roman archaeology are blurring the line between the space of the living and the
dead (e.g. death in the suburbs [Allison Emmerson]). Our conference will shift the focus towards the
movement within and between these spaces. Such movement depends upon infrastructures that
related ancestral veneration and funerary display with daily life. Using, adapting and expanding these
infrastructures is to create a funerary landscape.
Vital parts of Roman funerary landscapes are grave monuments. How the various grave monuments
relate to each other, how they connect to settlements and traffic routes, and how they are
embedded into their environment, reveals the most likely ways how a funerary landscape developed
and in which humans might have experienced the funerary aspect of the world surrounding them.
Thus, funerary landscapes are more than the sum of burials, objects and grave markers placed in
space (burialscapes). They refer as places of remembrance to the communities of the living.
Grounded in a notion that considers a funerary landscape as part of an archaeological landscape,
which in turn is set within the overall concept of landscape (Tibor-Tamás Daróczi), we want to
emphasize the importance of changing perspectives. In contrast to natural or geographic landscapes,
archaeological landscapes in general, and any funerary landscape in particular, must be envisioned as
an ever-transforming scenery. Furthermore, we must include more than one perspective, i.e. the
perspective of a moving and perceiving passer-by.
One aim of our conference is to place the material remains in their specific context, showing the
connectivity and creativity of funerary culture. Perception in motion is our second objective. This
means shifting the focus from digital reconstructions to exploring the visual aesthetics of Roman
funerary landscapes.
We invite you to participate in this inquiry by combining the inherent processual quality of funerary
landscapes with the social experience of perceiving such a landscape in a specific itinerary. We are
open to approaches ranging from emphasizing pre-conceptual conditions of people’s interactions in
their (Roman) world to investigating a particular perspective from which a funerary landscape is
pitched – thereby retaining funerary landscape as ambiguous concept.
While our focus will be on Italy and the Northwestern provinces, we welcome presentations from
across the Roman Empire. We encourage you to send an abstract of not more than 300 words
referring to one of the following topics:
- Defining and detailing techniques and procedures of modelling and three-dimensional
reconstruction of funerary landscapes at a regional and a site scale (spatial scale) as well as at
an object scale, including its medial aspects.
- Landscape archaeological investigations that focus on the (visual) relationships between
funerary monuments and the surrounding landscape features (e.g. roads, rivers,
settlements).
- Analysis and reconstruction of Roman funerary landscapes in time and space, foremost their
visual aspect.
- Visuospatial approaches to funerary landscapes relying on the visual identification and
presentation of spatial and semantic relationships (e.g. the visual perception of funerary
monuments and their imagery, deep mapping etc.).
Please send the abstract (English or German) until July 31, 2025, to the organizers Anja Klöckner, Ute
Kelp and Sascha Schmitz (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein. ). For any questions, please do not

Religious Toleration in Classical AntiquityJun 07Samstag, 07. Juni 2025 12:29
Call for Papers
Workshop – 20-22 May, 2026 – University of Groningen
The ancient world occupies a particular position in the history of religious toleration, having been identified as a period in which polytheistic religions naturally tolerated religious difference. This rosy picture has been questioned in recent scholarship, which has moved away from the teleological assumptions, the essentialized view on religion, and the supposed distinction between religion and state that underpin the traditional view.
This workshop seeks to contribute to the renewal of the study of religious toleration in Classical Antiquity by considering it as one particular way of dealing with religious difference. Indeed, toleration can be defined as ‘the conditional acceptance of, or non-interference with, beliefs, actions or practices that one considers to be wrong but still “tolerable,” such that they should not be prohibited or constrained.’ Toleration is therefore to be understood as a social practice that deals with an unavoidable fact of social life, namely social differences between individuals and groups. Toleration is an intentional and voluntary way of dealing with such difference, for otherwise it cannot be distinguished from, e.g., indifference or the material impossibility of suppression. Thus, a discussion of toleration draws our attention to the norms of a society, social structure, and individual agency as crucial factors which shape practices of dealing with difference. Understanding toleration as a social practice also implies it has a flexible connection with justifications: the latter are to be situated on a spectrum from post-factum rationalisations of existing social practices to attempts to bring about change in these practices.
This workshop is interested in contributions that address the following three questions:
- What factors determine that a society identifies groups or individuals as an ‘out-group’ or as deviant (e.g. deviant behaviour, newness or foreignness)?
- How did societies deal with such differences? What range of practices existed and which of these can be labelled as tolerant or intolerant? Which legal and moral constraints determined individual as well as group behaviour towards deviancy?
- On what grounds was toleration or suppression justified? Which philosophical, moral or practical reasons could be adduced for either position?
We welcome especially papers on case studies that address topics different from the ones often adduced in scholarship on toleration (such as the condemnation of Socrates, the suppression of the bacchanalia, the suppression of Jewish revolt). Given our interest in toleration as a social practice, we are particularly interested in papers that offer a detailed contextualisation for specific cities, groups or sets of sources. The focus of the workshop lies on practices of (in)toleration in Greco-Roman antiquity, but we welcome also contributions on Judaism, early Christianity and Manichaeism.

Two PhD scholarshipsJun 02Montag, 02. Juni 2025 15:12
Dear colleagues,I'm writing to ask for your assistance in circulating information about two PhD scholarships available at ANU. I'd be grateful if you could draw these opportunities to the attention of suitable candidates.These scholarships are offered in association with my Australian Research Council project,
'Why Monarchy Endures. Answers from the Mediterranean World'.
They are open to both domestic (Australian/New Zealand) and international PhD applicants.
https://study.anu.edu.au/scholarships/find-scholarship/why-monarchy-endures-answers-ancient-mediterranean-world-phd
The PhD candidates will develop independent projects on specific themes related to this research program:
* Topic 1: A comparative study of ancient monarchs who
introduced significant or controversial religious innovations and the factors that contributed to their success or failure.
* Topic 2: A comparative study of the presence, role, and
significance of monarchical elements in other constitutional forms, such as democracy, the republic, and oligarchy.
Within this framework there is considerable flexibility in the choice of monarchies, constitutions, and cultures studied and in the methodological approach taken.
All PhD candidates have a supervisory panel consisting of at least three members. The scholars will be supervised by myself and Dr Marko Vitas, a recent Brown PhD graduate qualified in both Classical Studies and Assyriology/Near Eastern Studies; possible other panel members include Dr Tatiana Bur or Dr Estelle Strazdins (Ancient Greece), Dr Meaghan McEvoy (Late Antiquity & Byzantium), and colleagues from the College of Asia and the Pacific and/or the School of Archaeology, depending on the precise topic.
Funding & Research Environment
The scholarship offers a tax-free stipend of $38,154 (Australian
dollars) per annum for 3.5 years, with the option of a 6-month extension.
The successful candidates will be eligible to apply for Research School of Humanities and the Arts research funding (currently up to
$7,000 per candidature for PhD projects which include fieldwork/archival research).
Additional funding for conference travel will be provided to the PhD scholars through the Future Fellowship scheme.
All PhD students are allocated their own workspace in a shared office in the Centre for Classical Studies, adjacent to the ANU Classics Museum and the offices of Classics staff members. We host a number of visiting local and international scholars each year for seminars, colloquia, and workshops.
We endeavour to offer all PhD candidates teaching opportunities in Classics, but we cannot guarantee these in advance. Our PhD students can take Advanced Greek and Latin courses alongside senior undergraduates to strengthen their reading abilities in these languages.
The ideal start date would be the beginning of 2026, but there is a certain amount of flexibility (e.g. if candidates from the Northern Hemisphere need to start in September/October 2025 or an equivalent time in 2026).
How to Apply
As part of the application process, candidates will have to submit:
* A PhD research proposal (2,000 words + bibliography)
* A sample of academic writing (e.g.: an essay or thesis chapter).
The full details of the application process are available here:
https://study.anu.edu.au/scholarships/find-scholarship/why-monarchy-endures-answers-ancient-mediterranean-world-phd
It would be great if prospective applicants could get in touch with me first to discuss their ideas (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein. ).
Applications close on July 14. Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend a Zoom interview with the selection committee.
Thank you so much for spreading the word!
Best wishes, Caillan
