Faculty of Classics, Room 1.02, Sidgwick Avenue, CB3 9DA
It is a perhaps surprising fact that one of the most numerous types of document to have survived from Greek and Roman antiquity are accounts: account inscriptions from classical Athens and other cities, temple accounts from, among others, Delos, and accounts on papyrus from various places in Egypt. Accounts are also discussed by ancient authors in the context not of the economy, but of politics, indicating that there may have been a link between accounts and accountability. In this talk Serafina Cuomo will consider case-studies from different times and places across the ancient Mediterranean, in order to reflect on what accounts may tell us about political culture then and now.
This event is part of Cambridge Festival.
