SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Edward Watts\, the Alkiviadis Vassiliadis Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of History at UC San Diego\, received his BA in Classics from Brown University in 1997 and his PhD in History from Yale University in 2002. His research centers on the intellectual\, political\, and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of seven books and the editor of five more\, including The Final Pagan Generation (UC Press\, 2015)\,  Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books\, 2018)\, and The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His most recent book\, The Romans: A 2000 Year History (Basic Books\, 2025)\, traces the history of the Roman state from the 8th century BC through 1204 AD. His work has also been featured in Time\, Vox\, Smithsonian\, the Economist\, the Wall Street Journal\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, British Museum Magazine\, and the New York Times. Before coming to UCSD in 2012\, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. He teaches courses on Byzantine History\, Roman History\, Late Antique Christianity\, Roman numismatics\, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. \n\nThe Roman citizen body lived an almost inconceivably long life. Between the 8th century BC and the 15thcentury AD\, nearly 100 generations of Romans superintended a political legacy they had inherited from their ancestors and handed down to their children. Nearly every element of Roman life changed during those two millennia. The state expanded from a hilltop settlement into a massive empire. Its center moved from Italy to Constantinople. Its dominant language changed from Latin to Greek. Its weaponry evolved from iron swords and bronze spears to Greek fire and gunpowder. It incorporated countless new gods before ultimately becoming Christian. And yet the thread linking the Roman present to its past never snapped. For all of their history\, Romans used this past to help understand their world and determine the contours of its future. Tradition served as a governor on the pace of necessary change.\n\nThis Thomas Spencer Jerome lecture series introduces the idea of Roman interchronological history to explain how Romans found and maintained this balance between innovation and tradition. Interchronological history recognizes that Roman scholastic\, social\, familial\, and religious traditions created situations in which Romans in the present spoke the words and felt the feelings of figures from the real or imagined past. These ancient situations encouraged people to connect personally and emotionally with figures from the past and made it natural to see in the past a set of frameworks that allowed one to both understand the present and imagine possible futures that might result from it. \n\nThese lectures explain how Roman educational\, family\, religious\, and literary culture produced this way of interpreting the present and imagining the future through deep engagement with the past. They will then show how an interchronological approach to Roman history expands our understanding of everything from the political power of Roman women to the nature of Iconoclasm and the surprising durability of the Roman bond market. By their conclusion\, the lectures will point to new ways to answer questions about the Roman past and suggest non-Roman contexts in which this historical method can also be applied.\n \nProfessor Watts will present four lectures and one seminar between March 9 and 19\, 2026: \n\n• What is Interchronological Roman History? Monday\, March 9\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture reconstructs an interchronological historical method based on how Romans were educated and socialized to connect with the words\, experiences\, and feelings of people in their shared past in a fashion that ensured their reactions in the moment and plans for the future remained connected to the traditions of the past.\n\n• Interchronological History and the Political Power of Roman Women\, Thursday\, March 12\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nUsing an interchronological approach\, this lecture shows how literature\, public commemorations\, and monuments encouraged Romans of both genders to recognize the political power of Roman women by speaking the words of female political exemplars\, feeling their emotions\, and understanding the circumstances surrounding their political interventions.  \n\n• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Containerization and the Creation of Interchronological Spaces in Imperial Rome\, Friday\, March 13\, 12:00 pm \nThis seminar will look at how the creators and sponsors of a series of monuments in Rome curated space to generate an experience that joined the present in which the monument was unveiled with elements of the past to define a transition to a promised future. Using the theory of artistic containerization\, we will see how each space was designed to showcase elements of the Roman past in a way that channeled specific themes important to both the present identity of the monument’s sponsor and a future they were promising to deliver.\n\n• An Interchronological Approach to Roman Religion and Political History  Monday\, March 16\, 5\;30 pm\, Vandenberg Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture explains how an interchronological history of Roman religion and politics can help us understand why this basic understanding of the role of the divine in shaping the tangible realities of Roman life persisted as Roman religion evolved from the practices of a small pagan city state into those of a large Christian empire.\n\n• The Failures of Justin II and the Case for Interchronological Roman Macroeconomic History\, Thursday\, March 19\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League \nThis uses an interchronological comparative framework to reconstruct the institutional history of Roman finance and macroeconomics in order to explain how the sixth century emperor Justin II inadvertently crippled Rome's nearly 800-year-old financial system.

DESCRIPTION:Animals abound in the art and artifacts of the ancient Middle East\, Greece\, Egypt\, and Rome. On this guided tour\, learn more about different aspects of animals in antiquity. We’ll take a look at animal-themed artifacts in the Kelsey and ask\, “Was that animal food? A laborer? A pet? A sacrificial victim?” We’ll also discuss what kinds of animals were symbols of power and strength\, as well as the meanings different animals had in the ancient world.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.

DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Curating Human Remains with Respect: A Collaborative Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Because many anthropological collections were established during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, attempts to trace their origins can become a research topic with its own history. Join the U-M Department of Anthropology and guests from the Hungarian National Museum for a collaborative presentation on how researchers from multiple countries can support each other’s work to identify the provenience of human remains collections with respect and expertise. These collaborators will explain how their research traced the origins of human remains in U-M Anthropology’s collection\, establishing connections to the work of Austrian anthropologist Felix von Luschan (1854–1924) and early-1900s Hungarian antiquities dealer József Lichtneckert.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Archaeology from space: Applications of satellite remote sensing to past- and future-facing archaeological Issues
DESCRIPTION:Satellite remote sensing is widely implemented in environmental science\, geology\, and more recently\, in archaeological research. This is largely due to its efficiency in data collection and analyses at regional scales. Questions of human-environment interaction animate research within and across these fields with spectroscopy being a commonly employed technique. In this presentation\, I will detail two applications of remote sensing—one focused on strategies for raw material procurement of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the Atacama Desert (Chile)\, and the other concerned with modern cultural resource management in southwestern Puerto Rico. Together\, these case studies demonstrate the utility of the method in both the study and preservation of archaeological phenomena.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Spartacus Stopped: Uncovering a Roman Defensive Wall
DESCRIPTION:March’s Flash Talk will highlight the research of Paolo Visonà\, a professor at the University of Kentucky and an IPAMAA alumnus (1985). In the Dossone della Melia forest in south-central Calabria\, Italy\, Dr. Visonà led a team that identified a 2.7-kilometer-long Roman defensive wall and ditch—initially constructed by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain Spartacus and his forces during their slave revolt. The discovery also included numerous battle remnants such as broken iron weapons\, suggesting that a conflict occurred there. This talk will detail how Visonà’s team uncovered the wall’s historical significance\, all while shedding new light on Roman military history and Spartacus’s legendary rebellion.\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. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. \n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/4Uyt27BVfYXRRaGj9. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Excavations at Hatun Machay: Documenting Mobile Forager Technological Adaptations at a High Altitude Rockshelter in the North-Central Peruvian Andes
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, I present the results of excavations and artifact analyses focused on the site of Hatun Machay\, a shelter located in the high puna of Ancash\, Peru. The high-altitude puna of the Andes is a unique ecological region\, historically considered “marginal” for forager occupation on account of hypoxic conditions\, intense solar radiation\, difficult terrain\, and relatively sparse resources (Aldenderfer 1998). Nonetheless\, the region has yielded significant archaeological data that not only attest to a substantial human presence\, but also showcase remarkable human adaptability including surprisingly early occupation of high altitudes (Rademaker et al. 2014\; Rademaker and Moore 2018). This site presents a unique lens to understand human responses to dynamic environmental conditions\, with ~12\,000 years of occupation by humans from at least the Early Holocene into the present.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Excavating Ancient Humayma\, Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:The site of Humayma in southern Jordan has been under excavation since 1986. Those explorations uncovered a Nabataean village\, one of the earliest Roman forts in the Roman provenance of Arabia\, and several churches and mosques on the approximately 1-square-kilometer site. Yet much remains unknown about the daily life of Humayma’s Classical-period residents\, the funerary landscape\, and urban industry in a peripheral\, arid landscape. This lecture will discuss what 30 years of archaeological work has discovered about the site\, under the direction of John Oleson and M.
