Asst. Prof. (Ph.D. Kansas, 1970; M.A. Harvard, 1963; B.A. Texas, 1961). My recent research interests have been in women on the Roman frontier, especially in Britain, including the wives of auxiliary soldiers and fort commanders' wives. In the future I plan to work on the wives of legionary centurions. Teaching interests at the undergraduate level include Roman military history, the early Roman empire (from Augustus to the mid-200's), and the freshman survey of the ancient world (ancient Near East, Greece and Rome). At the graduate level, Medieval Latin and readings in Roman history.
