At long last, Spencer Williams’ article “The Nobility under Augustus” has been published electronically on the Chrestomathy website. The print edition of the article came out in 2010. It is an excellent study of changes to the political culture of the elite in Augustan era Rome. Terrific work.
Each year the journal Chrestomathy publishes the best undergraduate research at the College of Charleston in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Inspired by working with Spencer on this project and in an Honors tutorial back in Spring 2010, I’ll be offering a new course on Roman Political Culture (CLAS 303) in Spring 2012.
Congratulations, Spencer!
