Tomorrow I will have the chance to attend a meeting organized by the "La Sapienza" University of Rome entitled "The Epicureism in the Imperial Age". There will be very important professors, such as Francesco Verde, certainly the most important Epicurean scholar in Italy. I asked permission to resume the speeches, so I will share them with you, at least with those who understand Italian.

Anything you can learn about the "suppression" of Epicurean thought would be of interest too. I think I keep reading that Octavian clamped down on "private associations" but i have never been clear about the evidence or relevance of that

I'll write somothing about it later, but most of the relators agree about Epicureism was very popular until IV century.
