"Imago mundi: Travel and Foreigners in Classical Antiquity" 5th Annual UNC-Duke Graduate Colloquium in Classics Saturday, March 23, 2002, at UNC-Chapel Hill The people of classical antiquity, although centered on the small space of the Mediterranean Sea, were driven, like all humans, to look beyond their borders. Soldiers, poets, pilgrims, historians, settlers, artists, and tourists alike traveled into foreign lands, some seeking conquest, some enlightenment, others a glimpse of a different world. Historical accounts reveal an anthropological curiosity on the part of some travelers. Literary sources marvel at the fantasy and mystery that existed outside of Greece and Rome. Art and architecture reflect perceptions of foreigners and the influence of foreign cultures. Advancements in the engineering of roads and ships emphasize the importance of travel within borders as well as outside of them, as foreign lands were conquered or absorbed. We invite papers from graduate students in Classics, Archaeology, Ancient History, Art History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies which examine aspects of travel, both foreign and domestic, and the influence of foreigners on the ancient Mediterranean world. Anonymous, type-written abstracts, one page in length, should be submitted by January 15, 2002. E-mail submissions are encouraged. If submitting by e-mail, abstracts should be sent as an attached file; please make sure to give your name, institution and title in the body of the e-mail. Please direct all abstracts and inquiries to: Jeffrey A.
