Workshop:Gods and Goddesses in Ancient Italy. With the support of the Faculty Board of the University of Oxford and of the Institute of Classical Studies, a workshop on Gods and Goddesses in Ancient Italy will take place in Brasenose college, Lecture room XI, on 18 September 2014. The study of gods of Ancient Italy has proved to be an emerging field in recent years, and an increasing number of scholars is demonstrating that studying how individuals, groups and communities worshipped specific divinities in different ways can provide much in terms of general understanding of the cultural history of the peninsula in antiquity. The workshop will bring together scholars from several European countries, who will present the results of their work on specific divinities and discuss the theoretical and methodological challenges they encountered. It will focus on the Republican period. The workshop is open to everyone, and attendance is free of charge, but please register by 10 September.
