Olivier Dufault deposited Early Greek Alchemy, Patronage and Innovation in Late Antiquity in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 1 year, 2 months agoNew evidence on scholarly patronage under the Roman empire can be garnered by analyzing the descriptions of learned magoi in several texts from the second to the fourth century CE.

Elodie Paillard deposited Theatre and Metatheatre: Definitions, Problems, Limits in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 2 years agoThe aim of this book is to explore the definition(s) of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ that scholars use when studying the ancient Greek world.
