Conference Multilingualism and Identities in the Roman Empire

Potsdam, 18-20 November 2026

The goal of this conference is to bring together scholars working on different cultural and linguistic aspects of the multilingual society of the Roman Empire, in order to investigate how the Greek language, in its interaction with the other languages written and spoken within the Roman Empire, was deployed and performed as part of a complex cultural discourse and was entangled in the construction of imperial segmentary identities.

The preliminary program is now available on the conference website.
