The underlying theme of the Conference is the idea that, under Roman rule, Greek culture was still alive and dynamic, and continued to exert a degree of cultural domination, either real or apparent. We hope to analyse the meanings of concepts such as "Greek" or "Greece" in the Empire.
Are we right to assume that there was a clear opposition between Greek and Roman ? Or would it be more accurate to speak of "Graeco-Roman world"? It would certainly be possible to make a list of "identity elements", on both sides - Greek and Roman - but, in this case, where should the borders between identity and community be placed ?
The fundamental objective of the meeting is to put together a body of research conducted by previously unrelated individuals and groups, who approach the period between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD from a variety of angles, perspectives and disciplines. Until now this period has always been considered as the junction of the decline of the classical world, and the emergence of the medieval world, but we hope to establish a basis for considering it as a specific stage in cultural, historical and social development with a distinct personality of its own. There are many studies based on literary authors, on archaeological evidence, the use of language, and religious thought ; however, studies that assume and combine all these aspects are scarce. Benefiting from the diversity of the existing approaches, the conference aims to promote joint reflections on the period under review.
