Santo Cielo!


Ardy Bass will participate in a five-week Summer Seminar at the American Academy in Rome thanks to a NEH grant. The topic of the Seminar is "Identity and Self-Representation in the Subcultures of Ancient Rome." According to the Directors, Eleanor Winsor Leach, Indiana University and Eve D'Ambra, Vassar College, "The seminar will focus on the ever-controversial matter of personal identity by considering ways in which Roman citizens throughout the Mediterranean world used word and image to represent themselves both as individuals and as members of communities." Ardy's research topic is the cult of Isis.
