Three prominent scholars of late antiquity will discuss the arguments and implications of key elements of his book as they relate to religion, society and literature in the fourth and fifth centuries. Participants include: Alan Cameron, Franca Ela Consolino, Università dell’Aquila, and Arnaldo Marcone, Università degli Studi di Udine. It will be chaired by Michele Renee Salzman, FAAR’87, Professor of History at the University of California at Riverside and Lucy Shoe Meritt Scholar in Residence at the American Academy in Rome.
