Archives and Archivists in the Roman Empire


The Department of Archival Studies at Alma Mater Europaea University, in cooperation with the Society for Roman History and Culture, Ptuj Poetovio LXIX, announces the 18th edition of the Roman Games, which will take place on August 22, 2025, in Ptuj.

As part of this historically rich and dynamic event, we are honored to host the third international symposium titled:

Archives and Archivists in the Roman Empire

This year's symposium will focus on two key themes:

- The Organization and Functioning of Archives and Archival Staff
Topics include archival buildings, labels, descriptions, appointments, citations, archival terminology, and historical references to those working in archives.

- Writing Culture in the Roman Empire
We will explore writing surfaces, tools, techniques, content, abbreviations, and other elements of the rich Roman writing tradition.

We invite researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts to participate in this unique academic and cultural experience.
