*Ville Hakanen (University of Helsinki): **/Erotic Art and the Ancient 
Experience/*
Is identification in a picture up to the viewer’s individual 
characteristics and the mood of the moment? Or can it be argued to 
follow a predetermined pattern? These are no simple questions in the 
world, where one’s unique personality is represented through Instagram, 
the algorithms of which can predict the pictures we are going to like 
based on other profiles like ours. By asking these questions in the 
ancient context, regarding erotic images, this presentation offers a 
refreshing perspective to the complex relationship between identity and 
image. I begin by drawing a picture of the ancient conception of self 
and its relationship to gender, which leads to ancient understandings of 
perception and cognition, and to ancient theories about image and 
identification. I discuss all this in a responsive dialogue with 
contemporary gender studies, particularly by Judith Butler. The outcome 
is a theoretically rounded picture of an ancient viewer in front of an 
erotic mythological picture.

*Anna-Maria Wilskman (University of Helsinki): **/By Silver and Stone: 
Some Notions of the Visibility and Movement of Roman Minor Magistrates/*
The aim of this work-in-progress presentation is to illustrate the 
movement and visibility of Roman magistrates through epigraphic and 
numismatic sources. The source material about the higher magistrates is 
vast, and therefore my method is to limit the material to those who are 
mentioned as having served in a minor office. By this approach, I hope 
to demonstrate the modes of representations of the magistrates and their 
career development in the early Imperial Era.

The event is a part of an interdisciplinary workshop titled Helsinki 
Research on the Ancient World. This monthly seminar operates under the 
aegis of the PapyGreek 
(https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/digital-grammar-of-greek-documentary-papyri) 
and SpaceLaw (www.spacelaw.fi) projects. It is co-organized by Marja 
Vierros, Anna-Maria Wilskman, Kaius Tuori and Samuli Simelius. The 
workshop is open for all.

Welcome!
