Disorienting Empire
On October 13th at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, there will be a one-day workshop with Basil Dufallo, Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan, to discuss his book Disorienting Empire: Republican Latin Poetry's Wanderers. The book sets out to explore the cultural experience of the Romans between 240 and 30 BC, during the rapid expansion of their empire, as they were confronted with a vast and very different Hellenistic world. It focuses on literary texts and in particular the pervasive motif of error ('wandering'), emblematic of the disorienting experiences the Romans encountered through contact with the Orient.
