>>This lecture will be based on my recent monograph Beperkt?
>>Gehandicapten in het Romeinse rijk (Leuven, 2014). After methodological
>>reflections on the issue of disability history for Roman Antiquity, I
>>will opt for an a capite ad calcem approach: mental disabilities, eye
>>problems, deafness and muteness, speech impairment and mobility
>>impairment will be touched upon by presenting case studies. For each
>>issue, the problem of "continuity and change" regarding Christianity
>>will be treated. Text fragments as well as iconographical evidence will
>>be the starting point of this lecture.
