These miniature artworks include figurines, coins, seals and seal impressions, rattles, and jewelry. The talk will particularly focus on how some of these objects were used to bring the presence and protection of the gods to the most personal spaces of daily life.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, graduate students, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects.

The founders looked to the Romans as an ideal for their own republican aspirations: institutions that tempered the excesses of the *populus*; statesmen like Cicero who projected an unflinching defense of the Republic; and stories that described their own experiment of strangers fleeing from their homes to carve out a new community from the wilderness. But the United States also inherited another aspect of Rome that grew out of these rugged, founding stories. It was not the enlightened, republican body but the gladiatorial body that emerged as a rival conception of what an American looks like. The gladiatorial body, which received prominence in outlawed, bare-knuckle boxing, as well as the theater, was physically imposing, violent, anti-intellectual, and brash. This talk takes us inside the worlds of the gladiator and bare-knuckle boxer to understand their allure as images of the citizen body.\n\nJoin us in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum\u2019s Newberry Hall to hear from Dr. Dean Hammer, the John W. Wetzel Professor of Classics and Professor of Government at Franklin and Marshall College. Light refreshments will be available.\n\nThis lecture is being presented in connection with the Kelsey Museum\u2019s temporary exhibition, \u201c\u2018There Are in America, No Kings, Princes, or Nobles\u2019: Caesar, Cato, and Washington,\u201d and the University of Michigan\u2019s Democracy Week\u2014a campus-wide initiative designed to highlight the importance of democratic principles, participation, and civic empowerment.
