Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020 Institute of Classical Studies Claire Holleran (Exeter) Mapping Migration in Roman Iberia Friday July 24th at 17:30 (UK time) Streamed live and archived at <https://youtu.be/bmtXDQBm2OI> This paper will present the findings of a Leverhulme-funded project exploiting the rich body of epigraphic data from the Iberian Peninsula to explore population movement in the region in the first two centuries AD. Working with a database of over 500 inscriptions, the project maps inscriptions in order to enable better visualisation and closer analysis of the epigraphic data. The paper will demonstrate an important new open-access resource, consisting of a searchable online database and an interactive map of population movement within (and beyond) the Iberian Peninsula, as well as setting out the methodology and some of the benefits and limitations of the approaches taken.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Researchers, I would like to recommend a free, multilingual, shared database for historians called FactGrid, a joint initiative of German research centers. The platform runs on the versatile Wikibase (like Wikidata), the data can be used freely by anyone but can be edited only by historians. At the moment there are already 150,000 items in the data set and it's constantly expanding with new projects and will have the full database of the German National Library integrated. They welcome new research projects but it is also possible to upload older datasets or migrate finished projects to the website. Feel free to browse and request an account: https://database.factgrid.de<https://t.co/Z3DS8jGPuw?amp=1> More detailed information: https://blog.factgrid.de/archives/1591<https://t.co/J2QINMRjcR?amp=1> I hope you find it useful, let me know if you have any questions, and if you can, please share the information with other researchers. Best wishes, Adam Harangozó -- [https://ovo-brand-assets.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/CarbonCapper3.png] 'Thank you' emails have a massive carbon footprint: so this is me saying thanks without sending it.
