announces

a Symposium Cumanum
to be held at the
Villa Vergiliana, Cumae, Italy

Wednesday, June 23 through Saturday, June 26, 2010

"From Aetas Aurea to Domus Aurea:
Roman Life, Literature, and Art under the Julio-Claudian Emperors"

 The Augustan Age in Rome, also know as "The Golden Age" was characterized by a wide range of accomplishments in literature, in art and architecture, and also in governance. In this symposium, we shall examine some of the directions these accomplishments took after Augustus-poetically, artistically, and politically, and to what extent these receptions and developments affected later periods in human history, particularly under the Julio-Claudian emperors, in the later periods of the Roman Empire. The Vergilian Society will sponsor this symposium, to be held June 23-26, 2010, to debate these and related questions. We will consider the literary successors of Vergil, Horace, the Elegists, Livy, and their contemporaries, as well as the physical, political, and artistic developments that arose under Augustus.

The Conference organizers are: Patricia A. Johnston (Brandeis University), and Giovanni Casadio (University of Salerno) (giovannicasadio@libero.it), and Sophia Papaioannou (University of Athens) (spapaioan@phil.uoa.gr). Abstracts in English or Italian (50 words or more) are required.
