This volume brings together the contributions of the guest speakers at the Fourth National Conference – Third International Conference – on Ancient History, which took place in the city of Córdoba (Argentine Republic) on May 21, 22, 23, and 24, 2012.
These conferences began in 2005 following a call for papers issued by the Department of Ancient History at the National University of Córdoba (AR), aimed at scholars of the Ancient World, with a view to strengthening the links between Ancient Eastern History, Greco-Roman History and Classical Studies, and bringing together teachers and researchers from universities in Argentina and abroad.
The motivation and organization of the event has always been based on an interdisciplinary approach, given that the fundamental objective is to create a space for the convergence of different disciplines that share common issues surrounding the Ancient East and the Classical World and their different projections, in the conviction that Antiquity continues to be, even today, a space in and from which to discuss and reflect on central issues in the social sciences and humanities.
In accordance with these guidelines, the four calls for papers issued to date (2005, 2007, 2009, and 2012) have attracted historians, archaeologists, philologists, philosophers, and specialists in art and ancient religions, with the aim of representing all areas of knowledge and, thereby, all alternative approaches and interpretations of the different issues, thus reaffirming the interdisciplinary nature of the meeting.
The different articles that make up this volume do not revolve around a specific theme but rather address the fundamental points of research, perspectives, and problems of antiquity, developed in recent years by the disciplines involved in its study, hence this volume represents an update.
