About
The Roman Society, also known as the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, was founded in 1910 to advance the understanding of ancient Rome and the Roman Empire. Today it has almost 2,000 members worldwide and is the leading organisation for those interested in Roman history, archaeology, literature and art. The Society encourages Roman studies by offering a wide range of grants to support research and publications, providing training opportunities for young researchers, and promoting the teaching of Latin in schools. It publishes prestigious journals including Britannia and the Journal of Roman Studies.
Funding Opportunities
Archaeology Committee Grants
The Roman Society invites applications for grants to facilitate activities in Roman archaeology, specifically projects, events, and initiatives that promote aspects of Roman archaeology, skills-based training, and public engagement. Applications are welcomed from any individual or groups to support activities that demonstrate strong affiliation to the promotion of Roman Archaeology to wider public or activities that provide skills-based training in an aspect of Roman Archaeology. In addition to this scheme, the Committee can also award funds in response to emergency causes when Roman Archaeology is under threat, such as urgent repairs or vandalism at sites. Awards are typically £500 or less, but there is potential for larger awards should a compelling case be made. The event or activity for which funding is sought is to take place a minimum of two and maximum of 12 months from the submission deadline. Any event or activity should adhere to the equality, diversity and inclusivity aims of the disciplines. No limit is set as to the number of times an individual or project can apply to the scheme, but a preference will be given to projects or individuals submitting for the first time.
Grants for Schools
The Roman Society's Roman Studies Committee makes grants to schools to help promote the teaching of Latin and Roman studies. Most of the grants are awarded for the purchase of textbooks and other books and resources for Roman studies, but the Committee also makes awards to schools and museums organising lectures or study days on Roman themes, especially if they benefit large numbers of children throughout the year and may be repeated in successive years. The Committee does not offer grants to support one-off school trips, workshops or events. Applications from schools planning to start courses in Latin are particularly welcome. The Society also offers grants for Minimus, the Primary Latin Project. The program is supported by the Polonsky Foundation.
