Poems, like wine, get better with age.



Meliora dies, ut vina, poemata reddit.

Horace, Epistles 2.1.34

Research Networks

Our Centre is involved in the following international research networks:

Thesaurus Linguae Latinae

The Thesaurus was established in 1893 as a project of the five German-speaking Academies then in existence. In 1949 it was placed on a new, international foundation with the setting up of the International Commission for the Thesaurus linguae Latinae. The Commission comprises delegates from the participating institutions in (at present) 25 countries – no more than one institution from each country, together with the eight German Academies – and a number of individual members.

NARGAMM

NARGAMM (North American Research Group in Ancient Myth and Mythography) is a research network devoted to the study of myth and mythography in Antiquity, primarily focused on the Greek and Roman world. Its main purpose is to connect scholars and teachers of myth and mythography to promote the understanding of the uses, organisation, and transmission of mythography.
