DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bob Morley\, an assistant professor at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@\, will present a lecture: "Poverty and Social Inequality in the Ancient Mediterranean: What Is the Evidence?"\n\nDr. Morley is a 2011 graduate of 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@\, and earned an M.A. and Ph.D in Classics from the University of Iowa.&nbsp\;\n\nAbstract: In the ancient world\, those without money and social standing could not\, generally\, receive an education. As a result\, the literary evidence that survives from the ancient world\, and to a certain extent the archaeological evidence\, primarily provides us with information about the lives of those who had wealth and high social standing.\n\nThose who lived in poverty did not leave writings about their lives. Their possessions\, few as they were\, leave little material evidence in the archaeological record. Who were the poorest members of society and what were their lives like? This talk will look at what evidence does exist for the poorest inhabitants of the ancient world and examine the challenges in using literary evidence\, written by the wealthy\, to get a clear picture of what it was like to be in poverty.&nbsp\;\n
