CLANS
Cambridge Late Antiquity Network Seminar Series
The seminar series hopes to provide a space for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approaches to late antiquity, spanning literature, history, philosophy, art, archaeology and reception, and ranging across the Western and Eastern Roman empires through to Judaism and early Islam.
These seminars will be taking place fortnightly on Tuesdays from 17:15 to 18:45.
These will be a mixture of zoom and in-person meetings. Seminar 11 October is the only Seminar in-person in room G.21, the rest will be provided via zoom.
