SUMMARY:Highly Educated Slaves and Freedmen in Republican Rome
DESCRIPTION:Slaves and freedmen played an important yet understudied role in the literary culture of the Roman Republic. Though their work went largely uncredited\, they fulfilled vital roles as editors\, researchers\, and collaborators in the service of Rome’s literary and political elite.\nDuring this public lecture\, Prof. Flower (Princeton University) — Rome-SPQR Society Choice Lecturer – – will illustrate the stories of these gifted and highly educated young men\, from Licinius the flute-player\, who shaped the rhetorical style of the orator Gaius Gracchus\, to the grammarian and teacher Tyrannio of Amisus\, who was brought to Rome as a war captive.\nHighlighting the unique social prestige of literary production and intellectual performance in a society pervaded by slave labor\, Prof. Flower will show how the exorbitant prices paid for the highly educated encouraged a complex system of training young boys for the marketplace or acquiring educated captives as booty. Enslaved and manumitted intellectuals\, far from being menial workers\, shared close relationships with leading Romans of the day\, and were relied on as coauthors and collaborators in a range of genres\, with some gaining fame as authors themselves.\nWith lively case studies and insightful new interpretations of the ancient sources\, this lecture will paint a more nuanced picture of enslaved labor in ancient Rome\, revealing how the contributions of enslaved intellectuals were closely linked to the ambitious development of Latin literary culture and the dissemination of knowledge.

SUMMARY:Using AI and Remote Sensing to Fight Looting and the Archaeo-Mafie
DESCRIPTION:Looting of historical sites and monuments still happens in Italy\, every day. There is only one reason for this criminal activity: money. And with illegal revenues comes organized crime. Indeed Italian Mafias are involved in trafficking illicit antiquities and supporting professional looters who can now use tools like drones for rapid site identification and theft.\nTo counter these threats\, the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (ITT) has pioneered the use of Artificial Intelligence. Their tools can now sift through vast amounts of satellite imagery to pinpoint illegal excavations and analyze online communications to reconstruct major trafficking groups and their criminal networks.\nIn this talk\, CCHT Director Dr. Arianna Traviglia will detail how these tools can be used to detect and prevent looting and to provide intelligence against illicit trafficking of cultural goods.
