Drs. Martine de Marre (UNISA) and Rajiv Bhola (Macquarie University) are pleased to announce the success of their proposal for the peer-reviewed publication of the partial proceedings of the 19th UNISA Classics Colloquium (7-10 November 2018).
The volume is now under contract with Routledge Press and will be appearing sometime in 2020 under the title Making and Unmaking Ancient Mediterranean Memory (500 BCE - 500 CE). In addition to the authors of the conference papers, the volume will feature chapters by specialists who are similarly interested in the manipulation of memory in Antiquity and classical reception, for a total of 17 essays. The editors look forward to working with everyone to produce an engaging and compelling collection!
