Europa Ciceroniana Events

A two-day digital workshop on Cicero’s Pro Archia for high school teachers

The kick-off meeting of the project “Europa Ciceroniana” (spread over two afternoons) is meant to provide all participants with background information on and recent approaches to Cicero's speech Pro Archia. At the end of both days, participants will have the chance to discuss among themselves expectations and wishes they have for the future project work.

The meeting will be hosted by the University of Trier and will be held digitally (participants who register for participation will receive a zoomlink few days before).

Please register with: Prof. Stephan Busch (Trier: stephan.busch@uni-trier.de) and Dr. Christoph Pieper (Leiden: c.pieper@hum.leidenuniv.nl)
