A Graduate Conference in the Department of Classical Studies, University of Missouri
April 12, 2003
Under the Roman empire Greece, or Achaia, was simply one province among many. The idea of Greece, however, profoundly influenced Roman architecture, oratory, literature, art, and even the very construction of Roman identity. Conversely, the dichotomy of the reality (Greece, the contemporary Roman province) and idealized pre-Hellenistic Greece deeply affected the Greeks' perception of themselves as well. We invite papers that seek to examine any part of the spectrum of influences that Greece and the Roman conception of Greece wielded over "rustic Latium" as well as over Hellenic thinkers grappling with this dichotomy.
