Marketing of Roman pottery: economic relationships between local and imported products

Report

Our 31st congress took place in Cluj-Napoca from 23rd to 30th of September 2018. It had been very well organized by our estimated colleague Viorica Rusu-Bolindeţ and her team, and we all enjoyed the great hospitality there.

Of course we not only listened to many lectures and had discussions in front of a long file of posters, but also enjoyed the opportunity to become familiar with the pottery of Roman Dacia with the help of a fine exhibition in the National Museum of Transylvanian History in Cluj and several pottery displays which had been arranged for us.

Furthermore we went out for several excursions. On Tuesday, the first full day trip lead us to the Roman Frontier: in Zalău we stayed in the County Museum of History and Art, where some lectures were held, and in the afternoon we visited the impressive fort of Porolissum, where we also enjoyed a meal and live music in the evening. On Thursday we spent the whole day in Alba Iulia with lectures and guided tours through the town which is really a magnificent site full of history from Roman to modern times.

The first of the two post-congress excursions lead to the well-known Colonia Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa and later on to Hunyadi Castle; the second to the fortress of legio V Macedonica in Potaissa and to Turda with its salt mines. Numerous pictures of all events can be found on our website!

On behalf of the RCRF and all attendants of the congress I again want to express our gratitude to Viorica and her team for the pleasant time and the nice program!

First circular

31st Congress of the Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores

Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 23rd-30th September 2018

Marketing of Roman pottery: economic relationships between local and imported products


Dear Fautores, Friends and Colleagues,

it is our great honor to invite you to the 31st Congress of the Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores, held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from the 23rd to the 30th of September 2018.

The Conference will be organized by the National Museum of Transylvanian History, with the collaboration of the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the “Babeș-Bolyai” University and the Institute of Archaeology and Art History of the Romanian Academy at Cluj-Napoca, in partnership with the National Museum of Unification and the University “1 Decembrie 1918” of Alba Iulia, the County Museum of History and Art of Zalău, the Town History Museum of Turda and Deva Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilization.

The RCRF seek to promote research and communication on all types of Roman pottery, including lamps. During this Congress, we shall focus on the economic life of the Roman Empire reflected in the interaction of pottery imports and local developments.

Participation is open to all scholars, not only to members of the RCRF (max. 180 participants, with priority given to Fautores, in order of application).

Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial capital of Transylvania and an important hub of urban life, whose beginnings reach back to the Roman period, with development continuing throughout the Middle Ages and the modern era and ongoing during our times. Roman Napoca (municipium Aelium Hadrianum, and later colonia Aurelia) was the capital of the province of Dacia Porolissensis. Its mediaeval successor, Cluj (Kolozsvár in Hungarian / Klausenburg in German) received the municipal status of a royal free city in the 14th century, later becoming the political and economic center of the Principality of Transylvania during the 16th and 17th centuries. Currently, Cluj-Napoca is Transylvania’s most important city, and its historical and archaeological heritage, as well as its rich array of cultural and artistic events, attract masses of tourists each year.

Arrivals are expected on Sunday (23rd September) with a welcoming session in the late afternoon held at the National Museum of Transylvanian History, in the historical center of the city. The congress sessions will take place at the “Babeș-Bolyai” University.

The Congress will include one-day trips to Alba Iulia, with visits to the local Roman and mediaeval vestiges, the Vauban fortress of Alba Carolina and the local museum, as well as to Zalău, comprising visits to the History and Art Museum and the Roman archaeological park of Porolissum.
Several pottery displays/exhibitions of Roman finds from sites in Romania will also be organized.

The length of the lectures is restricted to 15 minutes. As the number of lectures is limited, we ask you to prepare a poster instead of a lecture whenever possible. There will be sufficient space and time for posters (in A0 format). Unaccompanied posters will not be accepted. Each participant should give no more than one lecture or poster. We ask you to offer papers in conformity with the theme of the congress, although papers on other topics may also be accepted. Participants are kindly encouraged to use PowerPoint presentations.

The congress languages will be English, Italian, French, German and Spanish.

The optional post-congress trip will include visits to the site of the legionary fortress in Potaissa, as well as to the local museum in Turda, furthermore to Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, the capital of Roman Dacia (on 29th September) and to the auxiliary forts at Gilău and Bologa, both part of the defensive system of Dacia Porolissensis (on Sunday, 30th September).
For those participating in the post-Congress tour departure will be on Sunday (30th September, late afternoon).

Cluj-Napoca can be easily reached by plane, train and/or bus. Hotel accommodation details will be provided on the Congress website (http://www.rcrfcluj2018.mnit.ro).

If you wish to participate, please complete the registration form that accompanies this announcement and send it via e-mail or air mail to the permanent contact address before 15 December 2017.

Financial support in the form of a small number of grants will be available from the RCRF in order to help those who would otherwise be prevented by financial hardship from attending the congress. Grants could cover congress fee, accommodation or travel costs.

The Congress fee is expected to be 220 Euros and includes: access to the opening ceremony and welcome reception, access to all the museums and the archaeological sites that will be visited during the Congress, access to the closing ceremony, access to all scholarly sessions and poster displays, access to exhibition and pottery displays, congress kit, coffee breaks, lunch or dinner once a day, excursions.

Second circular

(March 22, 2018)

Dear Fautores, Friends and Colleagues,

We wish to thank you for your collaboration and interest in the 31st Congress of the Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores, which will take place in Cluj-Napoca between September 23rd and September 28th 2018 (with two optional post congress excursions on Saturday, September 29th, and Sunday September 30th). We have received more than 180 preliminary registrations, with 85 lecture proposals and 58 posters. Registration is closed - so we will no longer accept further applications. The final list of lectures, as well as the provisional Congress programme, will be posted as soon as possible on the official site: https://rcrfcluj2018.mnit.ro.

For download:
Second Circular    Word file    PDF

1. Final registration submission
Please send us your final registration form accompanied by an abstract (both for posters and presentations) to the following e-mail address: rcrfcluj2018@mnit.ro, no later than May 31st 2018. Payments must also be made by the same date, May 31st.

For download:
Final registration form     Word file    PDF

2. Congress venue
The Congress will be hosted in the main building of the Babeș-Bolyai University by the Faculty of History and Philosophy, located in the city centre.

3. Programme
    a. Lectures
The lecture proposals are currently undergoing selection by the Organising Committee. Since the number of proposals exceeds the limits of our schedule, some of the participants will kindly be asked to prepare a poster instead of an oral presentation. It must be emphasized that poster presentations are not a second-class option and that the request to present a poster rather than to give a lecture does not in any way demean the proposed topic. Rather, as always, priority will be given to those proposals most closely adhering to the main theme of the Congress and to those not suitable for presentation in poster form, as well as to those presented by members of the RCRF.
The tight schedule also means that lectures must never be longer than 15 minutes, allowing 5 minutes for questions and discussions. It is helpful to make a practice run beforehand and to cut if necessary. Participants are encouraged to use PowerPoint presentations in support of their lectures. Please make sure that all the drawings and illustrations used in your presentation are visible (profile drawings should be filled and ceramic illustrations enlarged) and relevant for the discussed topic. Do not overload your slides – very many images crammed into a single slide will not be legible in the lecture room.
If possible, all the text and captions on your PowerPoint presentation should be in English, especially if you are planning to speak in another language.
The Congress languages will be English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

   b. Posters
The posters accepted for presentation will be on display during the Congress in the main corridor of the Faculty of History and Philosophy, in the central building of the Babeș-Bolyai University, with a poster session taking place on September 26th. All posters must be designed in a portrait layout (vertical position), A0 size (84.1 cm × 118.8 cm). Useful information regarding the printing of posters in Cluj-Napoca prior to the Congress will soon be posted on the website, should you consider this possibility.

   c. Provisional programme
The provisional programme, with all the accepted presentations, will be posted on the Congress website (https://rcrfcluj2018.mnit.ro) as soon as possible. Please carefully check your name and lecture or poster title. Should you notice any errors, immediately contact the organisers at the Congress e-mail address: rcrfcluj2018@mnit.ro.

4. Abstracts
The deadline for lecture and poster abstracts is May 31st 2018. Abstracts should be sent in Word format (.doc or .docx), must not exceed 300 words and should also include the following information: title and authors’ details (names and contact addresses/e-mails). A summary of all the lectures and posters will be included in the abstract booklet given to all participants on arrival.

5. Publication in the Acta
Papers submitted for publication in the RCRF Acta, whether derived from posters or lectures, will undergo peer review, as always. The deadline for submission is December 30th, 2018. The guidelines are available on the RCRF website (http://www.fautores.org/pdf/RCRF-Acta_guidelines_2016.pdf). Please note that a copy of the Acta is not included in the Congress fee and members of the RCRF receive it as a benefit of their membership. Anyone else can order a copy from Habelt.

6. Accommodation
Participants should bear in mind that the Congress fee does not include the cost of accommodation. We will soon post on the website a number of hotels which will offer a discount for the Congress participants. Furthermore, there are many accommodation options in Cluj-Napoca that you can easily find and book on-line through the well-known booking sites. If you plan on joining us on the post-congress tours, you should book your accommodation in Cluj-Napoca for Saturday and Sunday as well. We will return to Cluj-Napoca from the trip to Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa on the evening of the same day. The excursion to Potaissa/Turda will be over on Sunday, in the late afternoon or evening, when we will also return to Cluj-Napoca.

7. Excursions
Two one-day trips will be organised during the Congress. We will first visit the County Museum of History and Art at Zalău and the archaeological site at Porolissum on September 25th. The second excursion will take place on September 27th, when we will go to Alba-Iulia to visit the National Museum of Unification and take the tour of the three fortifications of the Alba Carolina citadel. The lecture session of that day will be hosted by the “1 Decembrie 1918” University from Alba Iulia. The buses will depart in the morning from the University and will return to Cluj-Napoca in the late afternoon or evening.

8. Post-Congress tour
The post-Congress tour will include two optional excursions taking place on September 29th and September 30th.
The first will take us to Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, where we will enjoy guided tours of the archaeological remains and of the local museum. A pottery display will also be organised. In the afternoon, we will visit the Hunyadi Castle at Hunedoara. This excursion requires an additional fee of 55 euros, which will include the travel cost, the coffee break and the lunch at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa and the guided tours of the two attractions. Participants must arrange for their accommodation in Cluj-Napoca.
On the second excursion we will go to Potaissa/Turda, where we will visit the fortress of the legio V Macedonica, The History Museum of Turda (including a pottery display), as well as the Turda Salt Mine – a unique Transylvanian monument. The additional fee of this excursion is 25 euros, covering the cost of transportation, the brunch at the History Museum and the guided tours of the three attractions. We will return to Cluj-Napoca in the late afternoon.

The Congress fee is 220 euros. This includes the Congress programme and abstract booklet, coffee breaks and lunches during the Congress, the festive dinner, as well as the trips to the County Museum of History and Art at Zalău, to the archaeological park at Porolissum and to Alba Iulia, with the visits to the National Museum of Unification and the tour of the three fortifications of the Alba Carolina citadel.
