"Are we not men?" Animals and stigmatising assumptions in Ancient Rome Jack Lennon (Leicester)

This is a School of Classics Event.

**Abstract**
This paper will consider the use of animal comparisons, especially those involving animals that were judged to be disgusting or unclean, as a form of stigmatizing behaviour in ancient Rome. In particular, it will focus on the numerous cases found within the dream interpretations of Artemidorus and explore the ways in which Artemidorus' work can help to shine a light on wider stigmatising practices and assumptions within Roman society.
