<br>
I am happy to announce</span></font><span class="gmail-st"> </span><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">the multidisciplinary conference "Climate Change in the Breadbasket of the Roman Empire: Reconstructing Annual Nile Flood Levels for
the Roman Period". This event brings historians, archaeologists, and paleo-environmental scientists together to discuss the possibilities of reconstructing annual Nile flood levels for the Roman period based on multi-proxy evidence. It will be held at the
Swiss Institute in Rome (Villa Maraini, Via Ludovisi 48, Rome, Italy) on January 23/24, 2020.
