Emotions on the battlefield (junior project)

The research team for the student project 'Battlefield Narratives' explores well-known and lesser-known battlefields (initially) of Roman antiquity as part of the Conflict Landscapes group - from the Battle of the Allia to the famous battles with Carthage (Lake Trasimeno, Cannae and Zama) and the clashes with the kings in the Greek East (Kynoskephalai, Magnesia) or the so-called barbarians (Mons Graupius, Catalaunian Fields) to the numerous civil war battles such as the battles at Cremona...

Imperial priestesses (KaiPries)

Christiane Kunst

The KaiPries team is an interdisciplinary research group at Osnabrück University working on the study of epigraphically documented priestesses for the worship of the Roman imperial family. Our working group consists of both students and staff from the Department of Ancient History under the aegis of Prof. Dr. Christiane Kunst. The project started as a regular course in the winter semester 2015/16 and was continued after the end of the course in summer 2016. Since December 2016, there has been a cooperation with Prof. Dr. Babett Edelmann-Singer from the University of Regensburg, who herself conducts research on the Archiereia Asia Minors.

Roman empresses on coins

Christiane Kunst

The older project "Imperial Women on Coins" was carried out by Prof. Dr. Christiane Kunst (then PD) in collaboration with Anja Schulz M.A. at the University of Potsdam in 2006. It focused on Roman imperial women on coins from the time of the Julio-Claudian dynasty to the Severan dynasty.

Augusta Cornelia Salonina

Christiane Kunst

The aim of this student project from the winter semester 2012/13, which continued well beyond the semester, was to collect, map and evaluate all available sources on this personality. On the one hand, the role of a Roman emperor's wife in the turbulent third century was illuminated and, on the other, the synopsis of different source genres was practiced.
