Mary T. Boatwright
Professor Emerita of Duke University, is a Roman historian and Latinist specializing in the principate. She taught Roman history, Latin, and related subjects in Duke’s Department of Classical Studies for over four decades. Her publications center on Roman power and its effects. Her first books used the pivotal emperor Hadrian, initially to explore Rome’s topography and urban history in Hadrian and the City of Rome (Princeton UP 1987), and then Rome’s reliance on cities in its command, in Hadrian and the Cities of the Roman Empire (PUP 2000). In Peoples of the Roman World (Cambridge UP 2012) she turned from Rome’s leaders to the histories and perceptions of groups within the Roman dominion. She is a co-author of two Roman history textbooks, The Romans: From Village to Empire and A Brief History of the Romans (both now in second editions from Oxford UP). Besides topics suggested above, her articles consider Roman frontiers and their populations; perceptions of imperialism; Tacitus; epigraphy; and women and gender.

Meghan Poplacean
is a doctoral candidate in the Combined Program in Classics and History at Yale University. Her current research focuses on blood in the Roman world. Her dissertation, Blood and Earth: The Making of the Roman Body and World (300 BCE–300 CE), is an intellectual history of blood and its meaning in Roman thought. In her dissertation, she argues that blood played a significant role in the construction and function of the Roman body. This function, in turn, was informed by vegetal and earthen models of biological life. Ultimately, she argues that the Romans understood their body (and therefore their blood) as a kind of earth and, conversely, the earth as a kind of body. Her next project will study human blood’s role in Roman ritual (in particular the self-mutilatory rites of the galli, megali, and bellonari) and the purpose of ritualized self-inflicted pain. Her interest in blood developed from her Master’s thesis, The Business of Butchery: Bellona, War, Society, and Religion from Republic to Empire (2017), which offered a diachronic account of Bellona’s role in Roman war-making and her many transformations through time. Meghan considers herself a social historian particularly interested in Roman religion, the everyday people who practiced it, and the various material and social reasons for why people worshiped in the ways that they did. Her work sits somewhere at the intersection of Roman religion, ancient medicine, intellectual history, theories of knowledge production, body studies, medical anthropology, material and literary analysis, gender, and sensory experience. More precise topics of interest include: Roman domestic cult, blood and pain in ancient Roman ritual practice, grief and trauma in ancient Greek and Roman religion, women’s rituals, and the cults of Bellona, Isis, and Cybele.
Frances Pownall

D’Agostini, Oxford/Philadelphia 2020), and The Courts of Philip II and Alexander the Great: Monarchy and Power in Ancient Macedonia (co-edited with S. Asirvatham and S. Müller, Berlin/Boston 2022).
