CFP: Letter writing in the Roman empire (from Serena Connolly, Rutgers):
The Roman Epistulae Project invites abstracts for the conference 'Empire of Correspondence: Roman Imperial Letters as Literature and State Messaging, 31 BCE–534 CE' to be held in Boulder, Colorado, 4-5 October 2024.
Papers should examine the role of imperial correspondence in Roman society and governance.
We’ve got a brand new episode coming out later this week AND a special treat for our patrons as well! Excited to be bringing you more of ancient Rome real soon.
Pictured: just a couple of women who think about the Roman Empire every day 😅
"Alveus XR is the first online repository of historically themed 3D models. We incorporate collections of high-quality scientific virtual reconstructions to facilitate the disclosure of the past, and we enable 3D design professionals to use rigorous historical assets in their reconstructions, video games, or animated films.
Our historical objects (or assets) are organized into civilizations and these, in turn, are subdivided into collections. Each collection of assets refers to a specific cultural context (the Roman port; the Renaissance winery; etc.) and they organize the different 3D historical objects from our collection. These collections are not closed sets but rather groups of objects that will grow progressively as new pieces are added."
