The aim of the conference is to consider dealing with others in the Roman period. It explores the contexts of othering and alterity, questions the categories, such as: center and periphery and the reversal of this view in different contexts. It ultimately investigates the self-positioning of those presenting others, as well as the positioning of today’s scientific perspectives.
