标题：CALL FOR PAPERSVisualizing Violence in the Classical Past: Artistic and Numismatic EvidenceOrganized by the Numismatics Interest Group of the Archaeological Institute of America
摘要：The Numismatics Interest Group of the Archaeological Institute of America invites submissions for a colloquium session examining visual representations of violence in the ancient world. Images of brutality, battle, and conflict are rife in Greek and Roman visual and literary culture. The visual rhetoric of conquest and warfare permeated both public and private realms, from monumental architecture to mass-produced coinage to singular luxury objects. Referencing both the mythological and the historical, the contemporary and the past, these representations served many purposes. The spatial context of violence has been at the forefront of recent scholarly discourse (Fagan and Reiss eds., The Topography of Violence in the Greco-Roman World); our colloquium intends to explore how varied forms of violence were represented in visual culture and to what end.
