Contra Eunomium III

Twelfth International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa

The Twelfth International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa will focus on his trinitarian theology through a detailed study of the third book of the Contra Eunomium (CE III). As has become customary during the past Colloquia, the main papers will offer a commentary on the work as a whole. Besides these main papers, the conference program will also foresee ample room for about 30-35 offered papers of 25 minutes duration (including discussion). These offered papers can focus on any issue directly related to the writings, thought, philosophical or theological context of Gregory of Nyssa. Besides papers on Gregory of Nyssa “in general”, we are of course especially interested in offered papers that support and further the work done on CE III in the main lectures.

Sport and Law in Antiquity

2. Internationales Wiener Kolloquium zur antiken Rechtsgeschichte

Ever since the archaic period, athletic and musical contests were an integral part of religious festivals. Research into ancient agonistics therefore constitutes a crucial area of classical scholarship. The aim of our conference in Vienna is to investigate the legal context of athletic and non-athletic contests in classical antiquity from the archaic to the late Roman period. Apart from considering the actual rules of such contests and questions concerning umpires, we intend to focus in particular on the different forms of organization of contests, their integration into the framework of public administration and the status of founders, sponsors and donors of such competitions. Moreover, we would like to discuss the social status and legal privileges of participants. We are also open to suggestions for papers on related topics outside the main lines of enquiry indicated above. We are delighted to announce that one of the most distinguished scholars in ancient athletics, Prof. Ingomar Weiler (University of Gratz, Austria), will present the keynote address.
