Commission for the Study of the Ancient City
The Commission studies the archaeology of city life in Greek and Roman antiquity. Its main aim is to reconstruct the networks of urban culture; the ancient city is understood in all its visible forms as a reflection but also as a key element of political and social structures and processes.
With this purpose in mind the Commission supports research projects and publications which consider related issues through excavation, the cataloguing of monuments and experimentation with interdisciplinary methods. It also arranges colloquia on particular research projects, which bring together specialists from the various disciplines of ancient studies.
