OIKOS Text-in-Context Day - Table Claudienne

When:Fr 29-10-2021
Where:Leiden/online

This year's OIKOS TiC-day will focus on the Tabula Lugdunensis; a bronze tablet that was found in Lyon in the 16th century, inscribed with a speech by emperor Claudius. The event is organized by the OIKOS research group Ancient Rhetoric and Aesthetics.

It was originally planned in April 2020 and was postponed in the hope that it would be possible to organize it in a non-virtual setting at a later date. The day has now been planned on 29 October 2021, and will hopefully take place on location in Leiden.

ECTS

PhD and ReMA students of OIKOS receive 1 EC for preparing and attending the TiC-day. Literature will be sent to registered participants beforehand.
