In this session, we will provide a brief overview of the fundamental changes the digital turn has brought to the field of Classics, particularly in terms of knowledge production and interdisciplinarity. We will then look closer at the impacts of these changes on papyrology, the specialized field devoted to the study of ancient texts written on papyri. Last, we will see how a cutting-edge interdisciplinary collaboration between physicists, computer scientists, and papyrologists achieved what was hitherto thought impossible: reading a carbonized scroll from Herculanum without opening it.
