DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, Will illustrates some of the different approa
 ches he has taken towards developing a fuller picture of life in the sma
 ll\, rural village of Euhemeria (located in the modern Fayum region of E
 gypt) in the decades following the Roman annexation of the province in 3
 0 BCE. \nHis approach combines papyrology\, the study of ancient texts o
 n papyrus preserved by the Egyptian climate\, with social history\, the 
 attempt to reconstruct the lives of ancient people not usually attested 
 in literary sources from the ancient world. Euhemeria produced around si
 xty papyrological texts from the early Roman period\, of which half are 
 housed in the John Rylands Library.  Will demonstrates\, during the semi
 nar\,  how close examination of these texts has allowed him to draw new 
 conclusions about the people and society of the village\, as well as thr
 owing up new research questions\, some of which he will present to the a
 udience.\n
