Abstract

This chapter is a personal reflection written by Garrett G. Fagan, originally intended for an edited volume that never came to fruition, and then re-edited for the current volume in the months before his death. The essay is a warm and poignant recollection of his early education and how he came to fall in love with the Romans in the mid-1970s while living in a flat above his father’s dental office in an unsavory neighborhood of Dublin. Fagan describes his early trepidation about learning Latin at his Jesuit secondary school and relates how one inspiring, dedicated teacher changed all that. Though his essay does not reflect directly on how his own story influenced the scholar he became, it reveals first-hand Fagan’s own interests in the human component of Roman history.
