The Association of Ancient Historians was founded with
two essential objectives. The first of these is to foster a regular forum for scholarly interaction among historians
of the Ancient Mediterranean--especially among those who study the Greeks and Romans--and secondly, to do so in
a manner that emphasizes collegiality and social interaction. In pursuit of these objectives, the Association sponsors
an annual meeting in the Spring, usually in early May. These meetings are hosted by individual members with
the support of their home institutions and shift venue every year. Nearly all panels and papers are
presented in plenary session. Participants tend to take meals together, and of course, there is the banquet. The
photo here was taken on the steps outside the Stanford meeting of 2006.
