The Department of Spanish Studies and the Department of Classical Philology of the University in Lodz would like to invite you to the fourth interdisciplinary academic conference

Rome and Iberia.

Diversity of Relations from Antiquity to Modernity. IV

April 20-21, 2023

We are delighted to invite you to participate in the fourth interdisciplinary international academic conference on the relationship between ancient Rome and the Iberian Peninsula. Those relations left a permanent mark on the Peninsula and the vestiges of Ancient Roman culture still abound not only there, but also in other countries which came under Iberian influence. This issue is still avidly researched and debated by scholars of different fields.

The Fourth Interdisciplinary Conference is an opportunity for Polish and international speakers, considering and analyzing the issue from a variety of perspectives, to exchange research experience. We look forward to the presence of linguists who study the presence and transformation of Latin in the Peninsula and literary scholars who are interested in the ancient tradition in the literature of the Iberian Peninsula. We hope that, as usual, there will be no shortage of scholars of history, art and archaeologists concerned with the shared past of Rome and the Iberian Peninsula, recorded in the traces of material culture preserved to this day. Other scholars interested in the topics discussed are also invited to participate in the interdisciplinary conference.
