Since 1987, the Reed College Greek, Latin, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies department has sponsored a forum on Rome for high school students and teachers of Latin. Each year, students and teachers from around the Northwest gather on a Saturday to explore a topic related to the culture and literature of the early Romans. Reed faculty members facilitate morning discussion groups on the keynote address and lead afternoon seminars on a related topic.

This year, faculty and staff will present a keynote lecture, host a panel discussion, and teach seminars on:

• The Female Body and the Roman Body Politic in Livy's Ab Urbe Condita
• Reading the Stars … in Latin!
• Imperial Images: Portraits of the Emperor and Roman Propaganda
• The Lettering of the Trajan Inscription
• Many Romes: The Romes of Martial, Ovid, Pliny, Horace and Augustus
