Acknowledgements

This exhibition has been made possible by an Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities grant from the Society for Classical Studies and a Leadership Initiative Grant from the Classical Association of the Atlantic States.

An exhibit of this type also takes an enormous amount of effort to pull together, and I would like to thank the following for their invaluable assistance and support:

Amy Ensley, Annika Dowd, Michael Cornelius, Philip Lindsey, Adam Delmarcelle, Robert Dickson, Joshua Legg, Megan Mizanty, Ellen Ott, Ronda Ranalli, Trisha Groves, Adrianna Broome, Maricruz Cabrera, and the students of CLS 215 (Summer 2021) and LAT 101 (Fall 2021).

Many thanks also go to Wilson College, and to President Wesley Fugate and Dean Elissa Heil for their continued support of ancient world studies at Wilson College and the antiquities collection.
