Foreign Cults in Imperial Rome: Long Since Has the Syrian Orontes Flowed into the Tiber

Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. As the Roman Empire expanded into the Eastern Mediterranean, the city of Rome became a crossroads of new products, peoples, and religions. Much to the dismay of some Roman authors, the capital transformed into a multi-religious city, home to cults and communities from Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, Judaea-Palestina, and beyond. Within this diverse landscape, religious groups both preserved their traditions and adapted to life in Rome.

Between the Temple and the Gymnasium: Forging the Body in Greco-Roman Antiquity
Ricarda Meisl
This workshop will take place online. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. Zoom information will be provided via confirmation email to registered participants. Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. Belief systems around the body have a great influence on how societies conceptualize themselves, others, and their divinities. For the ancient world, the idealized bodies of gods and heroes, immortalized in flawless marble, have long defined our vision of Greece and Rome, but beyond these perfect forms lies a more complex story. This workshop delves into the lived reality of the body in antiquity, exploring how beliefs surrounding beauty, fitness, medicine, and disability shaped societies.
