Eeva-Maria Viitanen: /People and Place in Pompeian Elections: The 
Significance of Location for Interpretation of Texts/

*Abstract:* The painted electoral notices in the streetscape of Pompeii 
are a unique collection of textual evidence from the Roman World. The 
most important part of them are the names of candidates and their 
supporters. These have been used to reconstruct the election process, 
the political life in the last decades of Pompeii as well as the address 
directory of the city. My work focuses on the find locations of the 
notices and new insights can be gleaned on candidates, campaigns, 
supporters, painters, and house owners.

The event is a part of an interdisciplinary seminar series 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 
seminar is open for all.

Welcome!
