  Memories of Trajan, memoirs of Hadrian

  The year 2017 will see the nineteen-hundredth anniversary of the death of Emperor Trajan and the accession of his kinsman Hadrian. Ancient and modern cultural productions have often thought about those two emperors together. We will study the memories of both emperors over the centuries from 117 to 2017. This means that the conference will convene literary scholars, historians, art historians, archaeologists and scholars of other disciplines: we will study all kinds of discourse on Trajan and Hadrian, be it scholarly (historiography), artistic (particularly literary) or more generally cultural (museums, exhibitions). Papers may dwell on the memory of one emperor in particular, but we will retain first and foremost those which propose a crossed vision of their memories.
