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.
