Proposals for papers are hereby solicited on topics related to the conference theme that might contribute to a multi-faceted discussion. Of concern is not merely proving corruption to be common to ancient and modern societies, but rather to elucidate both notions from a historical distance and to grapple with the real issues (social, historical, personal) involved. The organizing committee will be interested in papers dealing with definitions of corruption, philological analyses of the Greek and Roman terms within the field, to what extent the two notions were juxtaposed, philosophical discussions of personal morality and power abuse, root causes, responses, remedies and counter-measures. Scholars working on historical, literary, oratorical, religious, philosophical, epigraphical and other material are welcome to contribute. The Unisa Classics Colloquium is hosted by the Department of Classics and World Languages at the University of South Africa. We have invited two quest speakers to this year’s conference: Proff. Clifford Ando of the University of Chicago and Emily Greenwood from Yale.
