Presentation
Tacitus is a widely known author but perhaps not studied as much as he deserves. Despite the general interest shown these last decades, there is still much to explore in his work.
In order to foster further investigation of Tacitus, and explore themes and issues that have not yet been fully investigated, the Centre for Classical Studies (CEC) and the Centre for History (CH) of the University of Lisbon are organizing an International Conference, which will take place between 26th and the 29th of November 2024.
Speakers are encouraged to employ philological, historical, political and anthropological approaches in their presentations, which may investigate any of the following topics:
- Characters in Tacitus
- Political, religious, and anthropological perspectives in Tacitus' works
- Reception of Tacitus' works from Antiquity to the present day
- Tacitus and his contemporaries
- Tacitus and his contemporary Rome
- Tacitus and Historiography
- Tacitus and Political Thought
- Tacitus in Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance periods
- Tacitus: style and language
- Tacitus’ Sources
- Warfare in the works of Tacitus
- Women in Tacitus
