<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">Administrative professionalization has conventionally been the hallmark of a modern state. The conceptual separation of the office and its holder has long defined the
European way of governance. The origin of this European tradition of the separation of public and private has often been seen in the Roman Republican political organization with its strict responsibilities, term limits and defined powers of its magistracies
who operated in public spaces. Nonetheless, this view has been challenged by recent research on the Roman Republic and its legacy. The conference aims to build a new interpretation of the Roman Republican governance: a comprehensive re-evaluation of the ancient
Roman administrative tradition and its links with the European heritage through the lens of Republican and administrative space. The conference seeks to investigate this neglected issue through the spatial analysis of power relations and meanings. The significance
of these issues extends much beyond this: the development of administrative space in the European context amounts to nothing less than the emergence of the concept of public.</span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">The conference advances the idea of republicanism through changes that are addressed via developments in the political, economic and social context from the Roman Republic
to the Empire and beyond. While much of the earlier research on Republican administration has been constitutional, focused on authority or the individual magistrates, the conference encourages a new interpretation through spatial and topographical analysis,
using unconventional methodological tools to explore the social and cultural dimensions of legal and administrative space. At the center are the confrontation of ideas and their contexts from the Roman Republic to modern republicanism, building on the questions:
How did the conflict between Republican ideals, political power, and administrative practices transform the spaces of administration? How did this conflict change the social topography of Rome and other cities and the public and private spheres of governance?
How did Rome become the model for the Western administrative state?</span></p>
