This panel examines connections between Classical antiquity and fascism as it materialized in the ‘20’s and ‘30’s principally in Italy and resurfaced in the ‘60’s in Greece. The papers explore the following: scholarship and propaganda in Giuseppe Bottai’s interpretation of Augustus’s Res Gestae; the fascist concept of corporativism and Roman collegia; excavations at Ostia and the exploitation of Roman concepts of unity and harmony; the development of the raised-arm salute in film from its early association of the dictator with Roman republican heroes; and finally, by an extension of fascism, the appropriation of Athenian tragedy by the Greek colonels and the opposition’s subversion through their own dramatic productions.

Alcidamas of Elaea, the much-neglected pupil of Gorgias and contemporary of Isocrates, was an original, multi-faceted thinker who can shed light on a number of intellectual currents at the beginning of the fourth century: from literary history (of both high and popular literature); to literary theory and criticism; to the controversy over the status of speech and writing as expressive media; to questions of literary, political, moral, and cultural value; to the status of intellectual endeavor itself. The participants in the panel will take different perspectives on Alcidamas' work, with special emphasis on the Certamen. Individual papers will representatively sample Alcidamas' range of interests, and the session will culminate with a new presentation of one of the two surviving papyri for the Certamen (Mich. Inv. 2754), which has not been reread since Winter's princeps edition in 1925.

This panel is devoted to showing how an awareness of current scholarly debates can enhance the teaching of major Latin authors, especially at the advanced high school level and intermediate/advanced undergraduate level. The panel will address Vergil, Horace, Catullus, Ovid, and Cicero (commonly taught authors at the college level as well as the current secondary school Advanced Placement Latin authors). The speakers will discuss aspects of current scholarship as well as how that scholarship might affect teaching. They will raise a number of general issues and then show how they play out in particular Latin selections. Teachers will find it useful to have the theoretical material addressed in the context of specific passages they might use in their own teaching.

This panel brings together classicists and field archaeologists to present a new picture of Roman Cumae. The literary and monumental evidence is placed in the context of recent archaeological fieldwork conducted at Cumae, including the material from a newly discovered maritime villa. The result is to establish that Cumae shared in the prosperity of the Julio-Claudian, Flavian and Antonine ages in Italy and to document the sources of this prosperity and the broader role of Cumae in the economic and social life of the Roman Empire.

Michael Gagarin,Organizer
The overall goal of the panel is to begin formulating ideas for cooperation among the various Classics groups in North America, including those represented by panel members. One specific focus will be the recruitment and support of teachers at all levels. After a brief introduction (5 minutes), seven panelists will speak for no more than ten minutes each about the history, membership, and activities of his/her organization, and the organization’s experience with and opportunities for teacher support. Speakers may also present their thoughts on possibilities for future cooperation among different organizations. In particular, I would like to know what can the APA do? What might the APA’s role be? What mistakes has it made? If the APA undertakes a major fundraising effort for cooperative projects, what sort of projects should it seek to support? An eighth panelist, who has been involved with several groups will add her thoughts about what different organizations offer to teachers and others, how (if at all) these groups intersect with the APA, and how the work of both the APA and other organizations might be enhanced. Discussion will follow.
My hope is that ideas and perhaps even specific proposals will emerge regarding what each group (or kind of group) can do best or should do more of, and what groups can do together more effectively. My goal is to start a conversation that will continue for many years and in different formats, but which is essential for the ultimate health of Classics in North America.

Pre-Professional Pressure on Classics Graduate Students
Sponsored by the APA Committee on Professional Matters
Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, Organizer
The APA Committee on Professional Matters is sponsoring a panel on pre-professional pressure on graduate students. Increasingly, job applicants seem to have established a record of publication even though often they have not yet finished their dissertations. In addition, there has arisen the relatively new phenomenon of the “graduate student conference,” an institution that was virtually nonexistent as recently as ten years ago.
Members of the panel will discuss a number of issues connected with graduate training in Classics. The key question is whether graduate students are facing earlier demands to specialize and to achieve professional “visibility,” at the expense of acquiring an acquaintance both with a more comprehensive range of ancient sources and with a wider range of modern scholarship. Our hope is to generate a far-reaching discussion with members of the audience.

Technological innovations are rapidly reshaping the way that humans interact with the world and, with it, the way that both students and teachers approach their studies. Even the most basic relationships between students and texts are changing. Moreover, technology assists researchers in gathering information from their subjects in ways that increase our knowledge of Antiquity in dramatic leaps. This panel, as part of the Committee on Ancient History’s commitment to the pedagogy of the Ancient Mediterranean, explores ways in which information technologies can be used to enhance the learning environment in the classroom of today and of the future.

Workshop
Jean D’Amato Thomas, Organizer
The workshop focuses on the Website Campania Felix (www.nsula.edu/campaniafelix)). which was originally established through the NEH Summer Seminar for College Teachers program, “Campania Felix: Nature, Myth, and the Arts of Man,” held in the summer of 2000. The directors envisioned the website both as a method of exchanging information, research, and bibliography on Campania and the Phlegraean Fields and a means of developing and expanding the contacts that were initiated with the Italian archaeological community during the seminar. The site has been extended and is now transformed into a tool for disseminating information and conducting research. The authors of the site hope that its continued development will result in a rich resource that will include primary and secondary materials. Its existence should assist scholars and teachers at all levels in three ways: 1) eliminating costly reproduction of the primary sources, 2) facilitating teaching at home and on-site, and 3) avoiding the need for travel if funds are unavailable.

The Emperor Claudius dies and expects to become a god. The gods have different ideas. Derek Jacobi never played him like this . . . The Apocolocyntosis is Seneca’s hilarious take on the death of the Emperor Claudius. Parker’s translation is as punny and witty as the original.

The four papers assembled here have a common interest in examining how The Invention of Love represents classicists, their professional practices and habits, and thus classics itself as a discipline. Douglass Parker, who appeared as “AEH” in the staged reading of The Invention of Love sponsored by the APA¹s Division of Outreach at the 2002 Annual Meeting, is joined on the panel by two other classicists and theater-historian John Fleming, a specialist on Tom Stoppard. Our respondent Kenneth Reckford has published on Stoppard as well as a wide range of ancient authors. After the papers and Professor Reckford¹s response, we look forward to exploring this fascinating drama with our audience.
