From 3 to 5 March 2016, an international group of experts from England, Germany, Italy and France took advantage of the quiet during Spring Break to meet for an intensive workshop in preparation of a new edition and commentary to Book 5 of Cicero’s Tusculanae Disputationes. As Jula Wildberger, Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature, reports, her colleagues felt welcome and well supported in their academic endeavor.
