  Thinness and slimness in Antiquity. Greece, East, Rome

  This symposium will bring together researchers coming from France and from foreign countries, and from diverse backgrounds: philologists, historians (of food, of medicine), sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, literary persons, archaeologists (in particular in the domains of the bioarchaeology, paleopathology, osteology), art historians. All the aspects of the question will be analyzed. The history of the crisis in supply, the food practices of limitation under the circumstances will be approached in particular (famine, disease, diet), as the definition and the representations of the thinness and the slimness on the ancient societies, in art and literature. The approach will try to combine, even to confront, the history of mentalities and the study of the realities in Antiquity.

  The Eastern Desert of Egypt during the Greco-Roman period: archaeological results

  Between 1980 and 2015, American, British, ltalian and French teams explored or excavated hundreds of sites in the Eastern Desert of Egypt whose study has sigificantly improved our understanding of Ptolemaic and Byzantine gold mining, of imperial caves opened by the Raman emperors and of trade with Arabia and India through the ports of Myos Hormos and Berenike. The idea of this meeting is to expose the historical results of all the archaeological research in order to render it available to the wider public
