A four-week college and university institute for twenty-five participants, on migration and the Roman Empire, to be held at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

This Institute for college teachers examines two interlocking phenomena against the background of todays headlines: the experience of migration, a subject of concern to historians and experts in many other disciplines, and the Roman Empire in the period during which it shrank from its greatest extent on three continents to becoming no more than a regional power in the eastern Mediterranean.
