The purpose of the Roman Seminar is to present new archaeological discoveries, synthetic studies and fresh interpretative approaches related to the society and culture of mainland Greece and the islands during the Roman period. The focus lies in investigating the various developments brought about by the Roman conquest in the poleis and their territories, on a local, regional and provincial level through the combined study of archaeological and written sources. A basic parameter is the comparison between phenomena observed in Greece and developments in other regions of the Roman world. The chronological frame of interest ranges from the 2nd century BC to the late 3rd century AD, without ignoring possible processes of continuity with earlier or later historical periods.
