On 10th and 11th November 2022 the international workshop “Epirus in the Roman World and New Research on the Acropolis of Butrint” took place in the Department of History and Cultures of the University of Bologna. The workshop focused on two main topics of research dealing with the scientific activities of the Albanian and Italian Archaeological Project in Butrint (Butrint Project) and the political, economic, and social dynamics resulting from the encounter between ancient Epirus and the Roman world after the third Macedonian war, as seen through the research of Italian and International scientific projects working in Albania.
