W 2025 roku świętujemy 20-lecie konferencji łacińskiej Concilium Latinum Lodziense, organizowanej corocznie od 2004 roku na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim przez Katedrę Filologii Klasycznej UŁ, Polskie Towarzystwo Filologiczne oraz Centrum Języków Obcych UŁ. W tym artykule ukazana jest krótka historia konferencji wraz z tematyką poszczególnych edycji. Celem pracy jest nie tylko przybliżenie wydarzenia, ale przede wszystkim promocja żywej łaciny i zachęcenie do udziału w kolejnych edycjach Concilium latynistów z Polski, jak i z zagranicy.

In the Old-Babylonian Sippar, the main meetings’ functions of the greek agora or the roman forum were fulfilled by a temple called “Ebabbar”. The Ebabbar was hosting religious meetings (through cultual festivals), juridical meetings (trials took place in the temple) and economical meeting (many trade partnerships were sealed in the Ebabbar, which also served as a book-keeping center). The Ebabbar was also connecting Sippar inhabitants in a sociological way, notably through networks of sociability, and in a cosmological way, by uniting humans with each other and linking them to the divine world.

It is proposed that the inscription be segmented at a different point to the usual, namely, immediately before ñneti. The content of the second curse is then that the perpetrator shall be defiled commensurately with the defilement of the tomb, i.e., a singular case of a talion not attested elsewhere in Lycian inscriptions, nor in Greek inscriptions from Lycia. A request to bury "my" wife and "my" children follows as an additional, third part to the inscription as originally planned, then a further addition of two persons. The verb ñneti is also attested in a non-funereal inscription, probably a treaty, and replaces here the usual verbs for "to bury". Placing the verb at the beginning of the sentence is also unusual, and this may have led the epigrapher to add it, without a word divider, onto the end of the second line.

El compuesto κένανδρος, atestiguado en S. OC. 917, es comúnmente traducido e interpretado como “vacío de hombres” o “despoblado”. El comentario del pasaje y su comparación con otros textos griegos nos puede inducir a considerar que su sentido deriva del contexto en que aparece y de la idea cultural que expresa. El compuesto, inserto en un momento de reflexión política, se encuentra vinculado al concepto de πόλις, una comunidad cuya naturaleza está justificada por los ciudadanos que habitan en ella.

In this paper, I compare the ways in which three seventeenth-century physi-cians, Rodrigo de Castro, Caspar Bauhin and Jean Riolan, dealt in their works with the anatomical and social problems posed by the hermaphroditic body. I show that early seventeenth-century medical discourses on hermaphrodites have recourse to a diverse synthesis of theories, sources and medical cases and that they are influenced by cultural anxieties over the disruptive power of sexual ambiguity.

The discovery by Cardinal Angelo Mai in 1819 of extensive portions of Cicero’s De Republica aroused great interest in the United States. Within a decade Americans had published an edition of the Latin text and the first English translation of the new work as well as numerous articles about its contempo­rary relevance. This paper analyzes how conservative intellectuals found in De Republica support for their critique of democratic trends in American poli­tics connected with the popularity of Andrew Jackson, whom they viewed as a potential military dictator like Julius Caesar. Also highlighted in the article is the tension between this traditional approach to the reading of a Ciceronian text and the historicizing tendencies of the new German philological scholar­ship that was beginning to make itself felt in the United States in the 1820s.

The third issue of the Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal (TRAJ) provides the opportunity to assess the structural issues in academia detailed in the previous editorials of the journal. The articles, and their authors, included in this volume were each affected by the worldwide pandemic. Throughout this period, however, the world has also become the theatre that enacted a renewal of social movements that amplified marginalised voices and experiences. Lack of representation was a key theme through TRAC 2019 and was emphasised by the conference’s keynote speaker, Zena Kamash. This editorial examines the contemporary context of Roman archaeology, its engagement with social justice, along with the struggles and opportunities afforded to it by COVID-19. Also included is an introduction to the diverse range of subjects discussed throughout TRAJ volume 3, that moves beyond the traditional analysis of ancient Italy and other anglophone countries.

The paper focuses on three passages of Piside’s poems showing some evidences of a theological in-depth analysis about the icons and the holy Cross.

Arkadia had no direct access to the sea, except at Phigalia to a limited extent and, for a time, in Triphylia. Arkadia’s landlocked position was commented on in antiquity, from Homer’s Catalogue of Ships onwards. Yet Arkadia appears to have been linked to sea-borne trade, both imports and exports. In addition Arkadians certainly travelled by sea, including men who left Arkadia to serve as mercenaries. Even more striking, however, is the ready contact that Arkadians had with the sea in myth. This is attested both in purely local myths attached to communities within Arkadia and in more widely known myths that linked Arkadia to influential areas outside Greece. Three examples of the latter are examined: the myth of Telephos, taken up and promoted by the Attalids of Pergamon; the myth of sons of Lykaon, notably Oinotros and Peuketios, who gave their names to areas of Italy; and the myth of Evander, who founded the first settlement on the Palatine and was used by Roman writers to establish links between Arkadia and Rome. All three examples involved travel overseas from Arkadia, and in some versions such travel involved the movement of Arkadian fleets.
