UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
The position advertised jointly by the Department of Classics and the
Department of Religious Studies will be filled this year, to take effect
from July 1, 1995. For administrative reasons outside the jurisdiction of
the two Departments it seemed for a time that this appointment would have
to delayed until next year. The administrative difficulties have been
sorted out, and all candidates can be assured that their applications will
now be evaluated.
The above joint appointment must be distinguished from the two recent
individual appointments made separately by both departments. The Department
of Classics is pleased to report that Carl Johnson has accepted the
position in Ancient History. The Department of Religious Studies has
recommended the appointment of Daphna Arbel, who works in Accadian and
Hebrew texts. As of July 1, 1995, the two Departments will be merged into
the single Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies.

EMBLEME ET DEVISE
L'embleme de la Societe est la tete de l'*Aurige de Delphes*: faisant
partie d'un quadrige de bronze consacre a Delphes vers 475 avant J.-C. par
un vainqueur aux Jeux Pythiques, l'Aurige symbolise le role de "guide" que
la SEAQ joue dans le developpement des etudes classiques au Quebec. La
devise de la Societe est une citation du poete latin Terence,
*Heautontimoroumenos* 77: *Humani nihil a me alienum*, "Rien de ce qui est
humain ne m'est etranger"; ces mots definissent la raison d'etre de la
SEAQ: la sauvegarde et la promotion de l'humanisme classique.
OBJECTIFS
L'objectif premier de la Societe est de faire connaitre et de promouvoir
l'humanisme classique et d'en montrer la pertinence dans le monde
contemporain.
La Societe encourage la recherche et la publication dans les divers
domaines de l'Antiquite grecque et romaine.
La Societe anime la recherche pedagogique et favorise toute initiative
utile a l'epanouissement des etudes classiques.
La Societe met a la disposition de tous ses membres, selon ses
possibilites, les ressources necessaires a l'etude, a la promotion et a la
defense des etudes classiques.
PRIVILEGES
Tous les membres recoivent gratuitement le *Bulletin* de la SEAQ et une
livraison des *Cahiers des Etudes anciennes* publies sous son patronage.
Ils ont droit de vote a l'assemblee generale annuelle et peuvent faire
partie du conseil de direction et du comite des candidatures.

The Tenth Annual Meeting of the ATLANTIC CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION (ACA) will
he held in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, October 20-21 1995, hosted by the
Department of Classics, Acadia University. The theme of this year's annual
meeting of the ACA is "Classical Themes in Contemporary Culture." For the
tenth anniversary of the ACA, we thought it fitting to choose a theme which
highlights the relevance of the study of classical antiquity and which will
foster the kind of across-the-board discussion not always arising easily
out of the presentation of specialized papers. Such presentations are, of
course, also invited; in that regard the theme challenges classicists to
explore ways in which their specialized fields of study contribute to
understanding and developing our own culture. Above all, our theme has been
chosen with an eye to generating a lively and fruitful discussion of ideas
of common interest to classicists and non-classicists alike.
A CALL FOR ABSTRACTS of papers for the 10th annual ACA meeting is being
issued at this time in order to meet external application deadlines for the
conference organizers.
ABSTRACT-FORMS are being faxed to ACA Department heads for further
distribution. Abstracts must be received NO LATER THAN APRIL 27 in order to
meet the application deadline of May 1st. Abstracts may be faxed to Acadia
at 542-4727 c/o Dr. P. Booth. Abstract-forms may be requested by phone from
Dr. Booth (902-542-2201 Ext 1277 or by e-mail from Dr. Provencal
(provncal@max.acadiau.ca). NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE (name and
institution) should be received (Fax, E-mail, Phone) NO LATER than MARCH 27
to meet our conference application deadline of April 1st.
For more information, phone 902-542-2201 ext 1277 or 12374; e-mail requests
for more information may be sent to provncal@max.acadiau.ca, or check the
Classical Bulletin, where we will post the offical schedule at a later
date.

CERTAMINA CICERONIANA
>From 12th to 14th May, 1995 there will be, in ARPINO, the XV CERTAMEN
CICERONIANUM ARPINAS, the Latin competition to which any students attending
the last year of a Classic "Liceo" and corresponding foreign schools having
Latin in their school curriculum are allowed to take part. Every year young
latin scholars from nearly all European countries and from Newburgh
(U.S.A.) meet in our lovely Roman historical town to confront with the
Ciceronian text.

Ciceronian text, headmasters, teachers and scholars can participate in the
CONFERENCE organised by EMANUELE NARDUCCI on "Political trials in ancient
Rome".
The CERTAMEN judging commission, presided over by Prof. Scevola Mariotti,
will conclude its work on 13th May.
On Sunday 14th May in "Municipio" square there will be the prize-awarding
ceremony, at the end of which Mr Filippo Materiale, the headmaster of the
"Liceo Classico Tulliano", will communicate the date of the next edition
inviting all to participate.

*THE ANCIENT HISTORY BULLETIN*
ELECTRONIC PREVIEW OF SELECTED *AHB* ARTICLES
AHB plans to make electronic preview of some of its articles available--
without, however, departing from its hard-copy format (and it will continue
to supply hard-copy to all *AHB* subscribers).
Gopher and WWW sites have been established at Humanities Canada/Humanites
Canada of the Canadian Federation of the Humanities/Federation canadienne
des etudes humaines:
gopher://tornade.ere.umontreal.ca:7071
http://137.122.12.15/Docs/Directories/AHB/AHB.html
Konrad H. Kinzl is setting up the distribution list by which to send out
notices to alert *AHB* subscribers of new items as they appear at these
sites. Interested *AHB* subscribers should sign up with Kinzl by e-mail
(kkinzl@TrentU.ca) (Non-subscribers will need to search the CFH/FCEH sites
without notification.)
Two articles from 8.3 are now available. Prepublication will be tested on
8.4 (1994) and should become a regular option with 9.1 (1995). *AHB* will,
we repeat, remain a journal that appears in hard-copy and will continue to
be supplied hard-copy to all *AHB* subscribers.

This new Attic prosopography, the most comprehensive ever, represents the
summation of sixty years and thousands of hours of research by many
scholars in Athens, Princeton, and Toronto. It stands in the tradition of
J. Kirchner's Prosopographia Attica, but its compass, both in time and
social order, is much wider. PA, comprising 15,588 entries in the main
catalogue, was limited to the pre-Augustan period, and contained only bona
fide Athenian citizens. Persons of Ancient Athens, with more than 100,000
entries, includes, in addition to Athenian citizens at home and abroad,
slaves, resident aliens, and foreigners honored at Athens, in fact, all the
known men and women of this most distinquished state from the time of the
beginning of alphabetic writing to the Byzantine period. It is based on
the 27 volumes of cards compiled by Professor Meritt and his assistants at
the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, but it also contains a
considerable increment, which doubles the original amount of information,
in the form of additional records and a full series of references and texts
to document each biographical fact. Sophisticated computer technology,
under the direction of P. M. Wallace Matheson, has been used for the
organization, correction, and typesetting of PAA. The work will also
provide a valuable index to complement the epigraphical corpora.
Twenty volumes are planned, each of the first nineteen containing
between 5,000 and 8,000 records, the twentieth, a full series of indices.
One or two volumes will be issued each year until the completion of the
publication.
The author is Professor of Classics at the University of Toronto.
