Marco Marco studied Classics at the University of Palermo, Paris VII, and the Freie Universität Berlin, and received his PhD in 2000 from the University of Palermo. Following several post-doc grants, he was hired as Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter at the Collaborative Research Center “Transformations of Antiquity” at the Humboldt-University in Berlin (2005-2012). During his time in Berlin, he became a Frances Yates Fellow at the Warburg Institute in London (2005), and a Research Associate at the Italian Academy of Advanced Study at Columba University in the city of New York (2008-2009). Since 2013, Marco is Professor of Latin Literature at Ghent University, where he is also a member of the Sarton Centre of the History of Science. He specializes in the literature and poetics of late antiquity; ancient literature of knowledge; acts and passions of the early Christian martyrs; the Panegyrici Latini; and masochism in ancient and modern literature.

 

  

Adeline graduated in Archaeology at Ghent University in 2015, specialising in Roman Mediterranean Archaeology. Her Master thesis focused on the location of Roman honorary statues on fora in Italy. In 2016, she obtained a PhD fellowship (2016-2020) from the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) for a study on how commercial buildings (e.g. tabernae, macella, horrea) and workshops were spatially organized within Roman towns in Italy.

 

 

Dimitri 2

Dimitri is a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) at the Department of Archaeology of Ghent University. Dimitri graduated in Classical Archaeology at the KU Leuven (2005), and received his PhD in 2015 from the University of Pisa. His research is driven by a keen interest in agriculture and nutrition in antiquity. Within these themes, much of his attention goes to Roman viticulture. The chronological and regional focus of his work is on Italy and the Western Mediterranean from the (Late) Republic to the High Empire. His current research (2019-2022) deals with the Roman 'arbustum', a silvoarable agroforestry system that combined crop fields with vines trained on host trees.
