UPCOMING CONFERENCE
The Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum is a selection of Roman texts on the topic of land
surveying in colonial contexts. It contains specialist treatises, extracts from legal texts, and
mathematical texts, varying chronologically from the late first century AD to the eighth
century.
In a workshop to be held in Groningen on 12 June 2026, we aim to explore the uses of these texts beyond technical uses and beyond Antiquity. We ask in what ways the corpus was mobilized, interpreted, and adapted to meet shifting legal, political, and administrative needs, throughout history.
