This conference offers insights from leading international researchers on Herculaneum, which like Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, but survived in a better state of preservation than its neighbour, and uniquely yielded up, in the form of hundreds of charred papyrus scrolls, the only intact library found in the Greco-Roman world. Papers will consider the impact of its discovery in the 18th century, the current state of research in Herculaneum papyrology and archaeology, exciting new digital developments, and possibilities for the future. The conference is co-sponsored with the Institute of Classical Studies by the American Friends of Herculaneum and the UK Herculaneum Society, and celebrates the 21st anniversary of the latter’s founding. There will be an opportunity for attendees to learn more about both the wide-ranging activities of both UK and American Friends. We thank also the School of Advanced Study, University of London, the Herculaneum Conservation Project, Parco Archeologico di Ercolano / Packard Humanities Institute, and the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford, for their generous support.
