- **Event Name**: Flash Talk | Spartacus Stopped: Uncovering a Roman Defensive Wall
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: March’s Flash Talk will highlight the research of Paolo Visonà, a professor at the University of Kentucky and an IPAMAA alumnus (1985). In the Dossone della Melia forest in south-central Calabria, Italy, Dr. Visonà led a team that identified a 2.7-kilometer-long Roman defensive wall and ditch—initially constructed by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain Spartacus and his forces during their slave revolt. The discovery also included numerous battle remnants such as broken iron weapons, suggesting that a conflict occurred there. This talk will detail how Visonà’s team uncovered the wall’s historical significance, all while shedding new light on Roman military history and Spartacus’s legendary rebellion.
