OPNIR
In 1997, the four Nordic institutes in Rome (Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, Institutum Romanum Norvegiae, the Swedish Institute in Rome and the Danish Academy in Rome) established the Occasional Papers of the Nordic Institutes in Rome (OPNIR) series in connection with the joint Nordic excavation project in Nemi. The aim of the series is to publish research results from the joint projects and/or studies based on these projects. So far, the series has published studies related to excavations in Rome (Temple of Castor & Pollux), Ficana and Nemi.
