British Epigraphy Society Spring Meeting 2019 - 18/05/2019, Newcastle (England)
The theme of this year's British Epigraphy Society Spring Colloquium is "Epigraphy and Frontiers", intended to evoke not only the obvious topic of a major frontier such as Hadrian's Wall (which ran through Newcastle a little to the south of the colloquium venue), but also other frontiers within and between states, administrative regions and cultures.
