Ilaria Bultrighini
After a BA (first-class honours) in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage at the University of Urbino, and a MA (distinction) in Archaeology at Sapienza University of Rome, I received a PhD in Ancient Greek History and Archaeology at D'Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara.
My interests range widely across Greek and Roman history and epigraphy, with special emphasis on time and calendars, from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity, ancient religion, Athenian history and microhistory, with a focus on the Attic countryside and its organisation in inland and coastal demes.

From texts inscribed on large stone monuments and buildings, clay or metal tablets, to writings on papyrus and parchment rolls, jewellery, vases, coins, and textiles, writing on different materials had manifold possibilities. The case studies gathered here examine novel approaches to the creation and display of inscribed objects, as well as to the ways in which such items were approached and perceived by people during a chronological period ranging from the Late Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. In doing so, the volume sheds new light not only on the interplay between ancient texts, text-bearers, and viewers within their wider spatial and physical contexts, but also on the possibilities opened by exploring the material aspects of writing through interdisciplinary approaches.

These initial areas of study have ramified in multiple directions. New issues have emerged, such as the ways in which specific literary features of inscribed epigrams were intentionally used to provoke emotional responses in readers, and the means by which materials, tools, and technological choices involved in the production of writing relate to the expression and meaning of its content.
Building on recent work on the “materiality of texts” in Antiquity, this colloquium brings together papers that explore various ways in which the combined study of texts and their material and visual aspects can contribute to our growing understanding of the various layers of meanings attached to written evidence as well as the ways in which the ancients approached and perceived writing. Our case studies stretch across the ancient Mediterranean world, covering a broad chronological span: from the Late Bronze Age and the inception of writing in the Aegean, to Late Antiquity and the visualization of writing in Early Christian faith and practice.
Collectively, the papers show that the materiality of texts can be conceived and approached in a number of ways and in a range of contexts, and demonstrate how the study of texts coupled with that of their physical and visual dimensions can considerably enhance our understanding of written evidence and the ancient perception of writing.
