Biography
My work focuses on the ways in which Roman cultural identity intersected with provincial identity during and after the Roman Empire. My dissertation looks at post-Roman Britain and Italy in the period from AD 400-700 and the ways in which both regions attempted to sustain Roman law, culture, and custom after the "fall" of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476. While I specialize in Roman and post-Roman Britain, I am also interested in classical reception, Greek and Roman magic, and Roman imperialism across the former Roman Empire.
