Review

This submission, explicitly titled and abstracted as a "Cronaca del Convegno internazionale," serves as a chronicle or report of an academic conference rather than an original research paper. It details the International Conference "Hagnos, Miasma e Katharsis: Viaggio tra le categorie del puro e dell’impuro nell’immaginario del mondo antico," which took place in Cagliari from May 4-6, 2016. The clear intent is to document the occurrence and subject matter of this specific intellectual event, rather than to present novel research findings or arguments. The value of such a contribution lies primarily in its function as a record of academic discourse. While not offering new primary research, it informs the scholarly community about a significant gathering focused on a perennially relevant and complex topic: the categories of purity and impurity in the ancient world. Themes like *hagnos* (sacred purity), *miasma* (pollution), and *katharsis* (purification) are fundamental to understanding ancient Greek and Roman religion, society, and philosophy, making the conference's focus highly pertinent and interdisciplinary. As a conference chronicle, readers should anticipate an overview of the event, potentially highlighting key presentations, thematic panels, or general discussions that transpired. It is not expected to delve into deep analytical arguments or present original data. Instead, it offers a snapshot of the academic engagement with purity and impurity concepts at the specified time and location, providing valuable context for those who could not attend and serving as a historical document of scholarly activity.
