Grounds for election

Dr Calvelli has a research track-record of international distinction. His main interests focus on ancient history and classical epigraphy, with special emphasis on the relationship of the Venetic and Adriatic regions with Rome from the late Republican period to Late Antiquity. He also works on the history of classical scholarship and the uses of the past (including forgeries) in a strongly interdisciplinary perspective. He is very keen to explore the potential of Digital Epigraphy, with reference to three parallel fields: textual scholarship, 3D renderings, and geospatial data management. He has been an invited lecturer at numerous academic institutions and international conferences in Europe and overseas. He is the author of two monographs and over 70 contributions published as book chapters or articles in peer-reviewed journals, edited volumes and conference proceedings.
