Call for papers
Land and Power in the Later Roman World
Tübingen, 29 June - 1 July 2026
Deadline for submissions: 11 January 2026
As part of our project “Land and Loyalty: the Politics of Land in the Late Roman World” — directed by Profs. Sebastian Schmidt-Hofner (Tübingen) and Carlos Machado (St Andrews) — this conference aims to re-examine the links between land and power in the late Roman world in their legal, socio-economic, and material dimensions. By bringing together scholars from different disciplines and academic traditions, we will survey recent academic developments and hope to establish a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for understanding land ownership in the period between 300 and 600 CE.
Confirmed speakers include Paul Du Plessis, Pierfrancesco Porena, Simona Tarozzi, John Weisweiler. We are particularly keen on papers by early career scholars working on related topics.
The conference will take place in Tübingen, Germany, between June 29 and July 1, 2026. Conference language will be English. Travel and accommodation for speakers will be covered. The papers presented at the conference will be considered for inclusion in an edited volume that aims to map the state of the art in this field.
Proposals of ca. 200 words can be submitted, together with a one-page CV and an academic weblink if available, to Dr Giordana Franceschini (giordana.franceschini@histsem.uni-tuebingen.de) until January 11, 2026.
