Dear
colleagues,
The National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian
Academy of Sciences, in partnership
with the Ephorate of Antiquities of
Rhodope (Greece) and Istanbul University, has the pleasure of inviting
you to an international conference specially dedicated to Roman and Late
Antique Thrace (RaLATh). The event will be appropriately hosted in the
very heart of the region – Plovdiv, the descendant of ancient
Philippopolis.
The conference theme focuses on the cities of Thrace, their territories
and the expressions of local identity in Roman and Late Antique times.
We aim to bring together archaeologists, historians, numismatists,
epigraphists, art historians, and scholars from any related fields, for
an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the region. Contributors
are invited to discuss all aspects of urban life in Roman and Late
Antique Thrace. Relevant areas of research include, but are not limited
to: settlement patterns, civic space planning, architecture, city
economy, religion, festivals. Selected Proceedings of the conference
will be published before the next edition of the event in autumn 2017.
