🧑‍💼The final conference of the CircE Project took place yesterday.
♻️It was an important opportunity for us to share the first results of our research, but also to gain numerous insights for further investigation into the circular economy in the ancient world.
A heartfelt thank you to all the scholars who participated in the event and to those who followed us, either in Milan or from home.

📣We are happy to share the news of the start of the CIRMAR Project (“Circulation of Materials and Resilience of Local Communities in Northern Italy in Late Antiquity”)!
The project, funded by the 4EU+ Alliance, involves the Charles University in Prague (Dr. Helena Tůmová), the University of Milan (Prof. Emanuele E. Intagliata) and the University of Geneva (Prof. Lorenz E. Baumer). It seeks to explore the resilience of rural and urban communities in Late Antiquity through the study of material culture, particularly sculpture and ceramics.

Last week we were in Calvatone, guests of our friends and colleagues engaged in the excavation campaign on the site.
♻️We participated in the "Archeologia tra Adda e Mincio - Abitati e necropoli" conference cycle and studied interesting finds from the "Artisans' quarter".
♻️We will return to the site soon to investigate new aspects of the circular economy in the ancient vicus of Bedriacum.
Keep following us!
