<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A quick update: we have three remaining research seminars in our Classics and Ancient History series for semester 2, 2024, all of which will take place in the V. Gordon Childe Centre at 4pm. The last in our series (October 31) is a change
in the original schedule. Due to a cancellation and a fortuitous visit by Prof. Ginette Vagenheim we are glad to present her paper in its place. The abstract is appended below.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Abstract<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>In their desire to live as the ancient Romans, the Humanists attempted to discover in their texts how the ancients lived and to imitate aspects of their daily lives. From this perspective, some erudite figures (like the members of Paolo
Giovio’s family) with the help of antiquarians (like Pirro Ligorio) tried to reconstruct the architecture of the famous Aviary that the Roman Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 a.C.n.) described, as part of his Villa in Casinum, in his third book on Agriculture
(III,15,7-10). Giulio Giovio’s comment on Varro’s description was originally accompanied by a drawing of the building that is lost. This seminar will analyse Giovio’s comment in the light of the unique renaissance drawing of the Aviary that survives--that
of Pirro Ligorio. Such an analysis will give us valuable information that can help to resolve the longstanding academic debate on the form and function of Varro’s Aviary.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
