In collaboration with the students’ organization KNUT, the PhD students at the department give informal presentations of their research. The presentations are held once a month, in the afternoon, and anyone are welcome to join. We hope that this presents an opportunity for students, junior and senior staff at the department to meet in an informal way. The next presentation will be held on Wednesday, November 22:
Caroline Elisabeth Fisker, Ancient History
Honorific statues in Pompeii and Herculaneum
Fiskers’ project is about honorific statues of benefactors in Campania in the late republic and the early Roman Empire, and how these were experienced by the people who inhabited the cities. Her project focusses particularly on spatial distribution of the statues, and how objects acquire meaning through their setting. In this presentation she will present some of her material and discuss different relevant sources and the challenges related to them.
When? Wednesday 22nd of Nov, 16:15 – ca 17:00
Where? LUX C214
We hope to see many of you there!
