Workshop: Landscapes of Power: The Colonial Legacies of the Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum

The Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum is a selection of Roman texts on the topic of land surveying in colonial contexts. It contains specialist treatises, extracts from legal texts, and mathematical texts, varying chronologically from the late first century AD to the eighth century. Despite it being a well-known collection of texts, as one of very few Latin corpora which seems to have circulated without interruption, it has thus far been studied mainly from a technical perspective and in its ancient context. Our goal is to explore the uses of these texts beyond technical uses and beyond Antiquity.
