The workshop is aimed at introducing students to the study of Roman numismatics and consolidating their epigraphic knowledge. Students are required to attend the entire series of seminars organised as part of the Latin Epigraphy (65339) course, with participation in the Roman Numismatics and Latin Epigraphy lectures (held by Prof. Cimarosti, holder of the Latin Epigraphy [65339] course, and Prof. Pliego, lecturer in Latin Epigraphy [65339], and Prof. Pliego, lecturer in Latin Epigraphy [65339].ssa Pliego, lecturer in "Arqueología de la Moneda" at the Universidad de Sevilla), amounting to a total of 20 hours of lectures in frontal teaching, including a short written exercise aimed at verifying the expected learning.

.

At the end of the seminar, participants will have to independently update 25 documentary records: 40 numismatic records relating to "las monedas del tesoro de Tomares", a large Roman treasure of approximately 50,000 coins dating back to the Tetrarchy period discovered near Sevilla in 2016, whose cataloguing and registration is carried out through the use of an application, "Numisdata", based on an international digital management software (dedalo.dev), and 10 epigraphic cards relating to Latin inscriptions of cities in Roman Liguria (IX regio), updating what is present in the EDR database - Epigraphic database Roma, an epigraphic database for international use, a constituent part of the international federation "Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy" (www. edr-edr.it). The lecturers will follow the exercise through its various stages, reviewing the overall work and discussing the results.

The Sanskrit Language Laboratory, activated by the CdS in Humanities and recognised by the CdS magistral in Philology and Sciences of Antiquity, has the following programme:

Through the presentation of texts and images, the workshop aims to provide the fundamental tools for understanding the ancient Indian language (Vedic and Sanskrit) and its alphabet (devanāgari). A particular aim is to show students how Greek, Latin, Germanic languages and Slavic languages are related to the North Indian language varieties. The devanāgari script (देवनागरी,) which is the basis of all modern scripts of the Indian Union and Nepal, Bangla Desh, Śrī Laṅkā.

will be learnt.

The workshop will take place in the second semester.

Master's degree students, in order to benefit from the lab for 3 CFUs, must supplement the activities with the following bibliography:

Saverio Sani, Sanskrit Grammar, Serra, Pisa - Rome 2012 (selected topics)

Giuliano Boccali, Stefano Piano, Saverio Sani, Le letterature dell'India, UTET, Torino 2004, Chapter Two (Epics).

The final test is the transcription of a text in the Devanagaric alphabet. Master students will also answer some questions on Indian epic.

Gli studenti possono richiedere il riconoscimento di 1 cfu per la frequenza di un lettorato avanzato di traduzione dalle lingue classiche.

The PROJECT
Text annotation carried out by PARSEME is part of the UniDive Cost Action (Working
group 1), a European project dedicated to the recording of multi-word expressions in
modern languages modern languages and in some ancient languages (Greek, Latin, Ancient Egyptian), which have recently been
implemented recently. The data thus produced are published regularly and are open-access.
. The launch of the first database in ancient Greek is planned by the end of 2024.


TRAINING AND GROUP MEETINGS (15 HOURS)
Participation in the project includes an initial training phase. A course in English is
available free of charge on the Udemy platform, and the project's Italian contact person will be
available for any clarification.
. In addition, the annotation guidelines, are available for free access: they contain some
exclusive-response decision diagrams (yes/no), which facilitate the choice of the correct
classification of the syntagma or, possibly, its exclusion from the category of multi-word expressions.

The Ancient Greek working group schedules a series of monthly meetings, on a zoom platform,
for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of any problems. Finally, the annotators are made accessible
a shared document, in which it is possible to ask questions about the annotation of specific expressions.

ANNOUNCEMENT (60 HOURS)
Once the training has been completed, the annotators will be assigned texts and a username for
access the FLAT (Folia Linguistica Annotation Tool) platform.
. They will have to read the text on the platform, selecting the syntactic structures belonging
to the categories mentioned. To annotate a syntagma, once its correct classification has been established
following the procedures learnt during training, simply click on the lexemes that constitute it
constituting it and enter the correct markup in the interface that will open automatically.
. The annotation will first allow students to read in full some texts of the prose
classical Attic prose. To date, texts by Lysias, Xenophon (Anabasis) and Plato (Republic) have been annotated,
but, for the next publication, the corpus will be extended to other Attic orators, Thucydides and Aristotle.
Participation in the project will also bring students into contact with the rudiments of the
mechanisms underlying the creation of large digital databases for comparative linguistic study, in
a system that, while taking into account the peculiarities of classical languages, places them in direct dialogue
with many modern languages (the project includes more than 30 language varieties, to which
10 dialects are added), highlighting elements of continuity and discontinuity.

From a more strictly philological point of view, such an annotated corpus facilitates the search for
parallel passages and the study of certain syntactic structures. In the long term, it also allows
the updating of dictionaries and grammar manuals.
. The annotation work can be done entirely remotely, from any device (PC,
laptop, tablet) and within a flexible time frame (up to 6 months). The length of the texts will be established
considering the reading of a text portion of approx. 650 words per hour. 60 hours therefore correspond
to the annotation of texts of approx. 40000 words (a book of Plato's Republic, for example,
approx. 9000 words).

The international language leader of the project is Dr. Victoria Beatrix Fendel, University of Oxford (victoria.fendel@classics.ox.ac.uk)
