A purpose both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
Bringing together scholars in history, literature, philosophy, history of art, archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, the Society works to bring about encounters between their methods and their different points of view.
An area of study at-once wide-ranging and particular : the Neronian age (from Claudius to Titus) and the Roman Empire in the first century A.D.
In 1970 SIEN adopted as its aim the promotion and encouragement of all research concerning the Neronian age (from Claudius to Titus), its Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman roots, its historical legacy and its image up to the present day.
Since 1999, the Society, while retaining its name, has enlarged its scholarly domain to include the whole first century A.D.
