Overview
Research interests
My PhD was on the kings of Rome in the Sixth Century BC and early Rome remains a strong interest of mine. I now undertake research on Roman and Italic religion, and am writing a book on the goddess Diana. I am also interested in colonisation and cultural change in Roman Republican Italy.
I also work on antiquarian writers, particularly Sextus Pompeius Festus, and the Roman historical tradition.
