This Workshop will focus on some of the people and communities usually considered peripheral to the history of the late Roman Republic, but that were nonetheless implicated – and could play significant roles – in the transformative events of the 80s BCE through to the early decades of the Principate of Augustus.

Participants will examine the civil (and foreign) wars of the era as events of Mediterranean-wide import that had profound impacts not only on the territories of Rome’s overseas empire, but also on the ‘external’ states that were increasingly being drawn into Rome’s imperial orbit.

Lunch will be provided from 12:00pm to 12:45pm with the event starting at 12:45pm.

Places are limited.
