Bio/Research
The social history and the law of the ancient Romans are the primary areas of my research. I am particularly interested in how the legal system manifested itself in the reality of Roman daily life as opposed to the ideal found in the law codes.
My first book examined the courtroom in Rome in the first two centuries AD drawing from three fields of study: Roman topography, Roman law, and Roman social history. More broadly this book contributes to our understanding of patronage in the imperial period, the accessibility of the courts to the lower classes, and the reinforcement of the established social hierarchy. Find a description of the book's content below.
