Roman Comedy On Stage
Feb. 14, 2013
BLOOMINGTON, Ill.— Illinois Wesleyan University’s Greek and Roman Studies is set
to host “Roman music in Roman comedy” on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 4 p.m. in the Beckman
Auditorium of The Ames Library (1 Ames Plaza, Bloomington).
The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
The program is part of the Ides Lecture and Performance Series. Guest speaker will be Timothy Moore, John and Penelope Biggs distinguished professor of classics from Washington University, St. Louis.

at nsultan@iwu.edu or call (309) 556-3173.
Note: Dedicated to the Roman god, Jupiter, the Ides fell on the day of the full moon in
the Roman calendar. Because a full moon comes halfway through each lunation, its day
was called “Idus” in Latin, meaning, “divide.” Greek and Roman Studies celebrates
the Ides each month during the academic year with a guest speaker or performance.
