Currently, we have two active projects:

  • Project “Rethinking Roman Antiquity: Inclusive Approaches and Innovative Treatments of Latin Epigraphic Poetry” (State Plan 2021-2023 – Non-Oriented Research Projects, Reference: PID2022-141426NB-I00), with a project website at https://grupo.us.es/rethinking/. The project has a duration of 3 years (2023-2026) and is funded with €71,500.
  • The CLEO project also receives support from the PAIDI Research Group of the Andalusian Regional Government, focusing on linguistic research on Latin epigraphic texts (ref. HUM156).

Previous projects:

– One from the State Program for Knowledge Generation and Scientific and Technological Strengthening of the R&D system, under the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020, entitled Carmina Latina Epigraphica as an expression of the identity of the Roman world. Interdisciplinary studies (ref. PGC2018-095981-B-I00), valid from January 2019 to December 2022. PI: C. Fernández Martínez)

– And another European one, within the H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020 call, coordinated by the University of Johannes Gutenberg Mainz (Germany), involving, in addition to the University of Seville, the Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, the Universitat Trier, the Communauté d’ Universités et Etablissements Université Bourgogne – Franche – Comte, the Universidad del Pais Vasco/ Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier, and the Universitat Wien. The title of the project is Communal Art – Reconceptualising Metrical Epigraphy Network (CARMEN). US PI: C. Fernández Martínez. During the next few years we will have 11 young researchers preparing their doctoral theses on Carmina Latina Epigraphica, which will result in the development of our database.

– Through the aforementioned national project, one of whose members is P. Kruschwitz, PI of the European project MAPPOLA: Mapping out the poetic landscape(s) of the Roman empire, with which we share objectives, we establish ways of collaboration between both projects: CLEO and MAPPOLA.
