SUMMARY:Soldiers and Civilians in Roman Arabia: The Evolution of Roman and Nabataean Relations at Humayma (Jordan)
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Reeves\, Department of Classics\, Queen’s University \nIn the early second century CE the Roman Empire annexed the Nabataean Kingdom and transformed it into their new Province of Arabia. Immediately thereafter the Romans built a major fort on the desert trade routes next to the Nabataean town of Hawara (modern Humamya). This lecture will present archaeological evidence for the nature of the evolving relations between soldiers and civilians at this site over the next four centuries.  \nBarbara Reeves is an Associate Professor in Classics and Cultural Studies at Queen’s University. Her research focuses on the Roman and Nabataean Near East and particularly on the relations between soldiers and civilians. She has been excavating in Jordan since 1995 and has directed archaeological projects at Humayma and Wadi Ramm. \nIn person at Carleton University (Paterson 303) and online with Zoom. \nZoom link: https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/95800258329

SUMMARY:Scratching the Surface: Reflections on a First Campaign to Digitally Record Graffiti at Philae
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Hedley\, Department of Geography\, Simon Fraser University \nIn this talk\, I share my experiences working at the Temple of Isis at Philae\, in Southern Egypt. During the Fall 2021 campaign\, I began evaluating the capability and suitability of spatial digital recording methods to capture graffiti\, and the morphological context of the structures they were found in at Philae. This resulted in a new collection of digital recordings\, across multiple scales\, from which an initial set of new wall plans were produced. I will present and discuss the challenges to record the complex surfaces of the Mammisi at Philae\, and opportunities to advance the way we build wall plans informed by an emerging ideology of spatial reality capture. \nCo-sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America. \nIn person at the University of Ottawa: Desmarais Hall (DMS1120)\, 55 Laurier Avenue East.

SUMMARY:Recent Excavation at the Submerged Harbour at Tyre
DESCRIPTION:Ibrahim Noureddine\, Carleton University \nTyre\, located on the eastern Mediterranean coast in modern-day Lebanon\, has a rich history dating back to the 28th century BC. In recent years\, the Honor Frost Foundation has funded an excavation project focused on the old\, submerged breakwater near the harbour. Our team has conducted several excavations at this site to study the submerged structures in more detail and gain a better understanding of the city’s history. The results provide valuable insights into the history of Tyre\, including information about the city’s harbor and its role as a major trade hub. This lecture will discuss the results of work at the site and provide an update on the continuation of the project. Some of the most significant features from the excavations will be highlighted. The lecture will offer a comprehensive overview of the ongoing excavation project at the breakwater near Tyre and provide insight into the rich history and cultural significance of this important Mediterranean city. \nIn person at Woodside Hall\, Dominion-Chalmers Cultural Centre\, 355 Cooper Street\, Ottawa\,\nand\nonline with Zoom: https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/96158935842 \nIbrahim Noureddine (Ph.D.)\, is an Archaeologist with research interests in Egyptology\, Maritime Archaeology\, and eastern Mediterranean Bronze and Iron Age Archaeology. Since the Mid 1990’s\, he has actively led and participated in Classical\, Urban and underwater archaeological excavations from the early Bronze\, Middle Bronze and Late Bronze Age periods in Syria: Tell Karma and Tell Kazel; Lebanon: Byblos\, Beirut\, Jiyeh and Tyre. Previously\, he was a member of the Amenhotep III Mortuary Temple excavations at Luxor\, Egypt\, and is currently a member of the Spanish excavation and restoration project at Thutmosis III Mortuary Temple at Luxor\, Egypt.

SUMMARY:Sappho As Imagined: From Plato's Pillow Book to Lesbian Icon
DESCRIPTION:Shane Hawkins\, Carleton University \nThere are few names from antiquity as widely recognized as Sappho\, and few poets whose work has been so consumed with controversy. Her poetry was revered in antiquity\, though reading and appreciating it had already become difficult and the putative details of her private life—and often the outlandish tales about her that may derive from Greek comedy—threatened to overshadow the beauty of her verse even then. This talk explores the long history of (re)imagining Sappho from antiquity until today. As sublime poet\, schoolmistress\, music teacher\, jilted and doomed lover\, feminist heroine and gay role model\, Sappho has been continually re-read and mis-read from the archaic period up to the recent sensational discoveries of new poems and the tabloid-worthy scandals surrounding them. The fragmentary state of her poetry and its powerful emotional content have haunted the imagination of readers for over two and a half millennia. \nin person at Dominion-Chalmers Cultural Centre\, 355 Cooper Street\, Ottawa \nShane Hawkins is Associate Professor of Greek and Roman Studies and Director of the College of Humanities at Carleton University. His research is on ancient Greek literature and historical linguistics. He has published on Homer\, Hesiod\, the Greek lyric poets\, Aristophanes\, and on the ancient Greek language. He is currently writing a commentary on Ancient Greek Iambic Poetry. \nCo-sponsored by the Parnassos Hellenic Cultural Society of Ottawa. \n

SUMMARY:The Improbable Heroine: Lela Karayanni and the British Secret Services in World War II Greece
DESCRIPTION:Stylianos Perrakis\, Concordia University \nLela Karayanni was a Greek resistance fighter during World War II. A wife and mother of seven children\, she had no previous experience in politics or military affairs.  Working with British intelligence\, she built a local organization which engaged in espionage\, sabotaged German targets\, and assisted in the escape of Allied prisoners-of-war.   Professor Stylianos Perrakis will give a presentation about his 2022 book titled The Improbable Heroine: Lela Karayanni and the British Secret Services in World War II Greece (DeGruyter\, 2022).\n \nIn person at Carleton University\, Paterson Hall 303\nand\non Zoom: https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/93748749961

SUMMARY:Tarpeia\, Warrior and Hero
DESCRIPTION:Jaclyn Neel\, Carleton University \nTarpeia is best known as the eponym of the Tarpeian hill and rock\, which is popularly understood as a place from which traitors were executed. This method of execution is explained by the identification of Tarpeia as an archetypal traitor. Looking beyond the ‘canonical’ narratives of Livy and Plutarch\, however\, we see glimpses of a different Tarpeia tradition: one in which Tarpeia did not betray Rome\, but in fact tried to save it. This talk discusses the fragmentary history of this other Tarpeia\, who may have fought in Rome’s earliest army and who appeared to receive cultic worship well into the Roman Republic. \nJaclyn Neel is an Assistant Professor in the Greek and Roman Studies program at Carleton. She received a BA in Classics from Columbia University in 2005 and a combined MA/PhD in Classics and Ancient History from the Collaborative Program in Ancient History at the University of Toronto in 2012. During that time\, she also received a TESL-Canada diploma (2011). Her research centres on Roman mythology and political discourse\, and she is also interested in the afterlife of antiquity. \n300 Paterson Hall\, Carleton University and online with Zoom: https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/92978185371
