And charioteers—the stars of the Roman racing scenes—were often the union figurehead, guiding both their faction and their fans to political ends. Re-viewing Late Antiquity through the lens of labor organization, strikes, work contracts, and—when deemed necessary—coordinated violence, leads us to a different narrative of the 'fall' of Rome, this time from below. events.bc.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__events.bc.edu_event_sa…> Prof. Franco Mormando (mormando(a)bc.edu<mailto:mormando@bc.edu>) [Sarah Bond (University of Iowa)] Classical Association of New England Annual Meeting<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…> Fri., Mar. 17 – Sat., Mar. 18 ST.

This year’s symposium, "Trade in the Ancient Mediterranean World," will explore trade and economic exchange across the ancient Mediterranean and beyond, from the 4th millennium BC down through the 1st millennium BC. Trade networks, and the exchange of goods more broadly, represent one of the most important areas of research in the study of ancient economy. While trade and economic exchange have a rich tradition of scholarship, since Karl Polanyi’s controversial 1957 Trade and Market in Early Empires, the past decades have seen a number of developments in our understanding of long-distance maritime and overland trade networks. From the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, from Dunhuang to Kanesh, the size of ancient long-distance trade networks, the frequency of international trade, and the capacity of economies in the deep past to accommodate commercialization and physical markets, have been uncovered on a scale that is both staggering and unprecedented. Please find below the official program for the conference. This event is open to everyone and there is no conference fee, but registration is required. If you would like to attend the conference, please RSVP using the following link: Registration Form<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__forms.gle_rZ7wHQJnb5VA…> Note that the conference will be held in person and will not have an online component.

An iron dagger from the tomb of King Tutankhamun is one of the oldest Egyptian objects verified to be of meteoritic origin. In this lecture, Almansa-Villatoro will discuss Egyptian texts, iconography, and religious writings that associate iron with the sky and stars, indicating that ancient Egyptians were aware that meteorites came from space. This knowledge—most likely shared with other ancient civilizations that connected iron and sky in their texts—was lost in modern times, as it was only until the eighteenth century that meteorites were confirmed to be of extraterrestrial origin.

And charioteers—the stars of the Roman racing scenes—were often the union figurehead, guiding both their faction and their fans to political ends. Re-viewing Late Antiquity through the lens of labor organization, strikes, work contracts, and—when deemed necessary—coordinated violence, leads us to a different narrative of the 'fall' of Rome, this time from below. events.bc.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__events.bc.edu_event_sa…> Prof. Franco Mormando (mormando(a)bc.edu<mailto:mormando@bc.edu>) [Sarah Bond (University of Iowa)] Classical Association of New England Annual Meeting<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…> Fri., Mar. 17 – Sat., Mar. 18 ST.
