I am an Associate Professor in the History Department at the University of Iowa. I am interested in Roman, late antique, and early medieval history, archaeology, topography and GIS, Digital Humanities, and the role of Classics in pop culture. I obtained a BA in Classics and History with a minor in Classical Archaeology from the University of Virginia (2005). My PhD is in Ancient History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2011). My book, Trade and Taboo: Disreputable Professionals in the Roman Mediterranean, is out now from University of Michigan Press (Fall, 2016) and looks at the lives of marginalized tradesmen like gravediggers and tanners.

As an “Old European”, while following and discussing the candidates and their campaigns, I am not really involved into the daily voices in the U.S. presidential election campaign. This one is quite astonishing. I like the remark about the British Library.
I have a Masters of Divinity concentrating in New Testament and Church History and now getting another Masters of Arts in Biblical Studies , I say this because I am interested in women and the idea of demon possession, hence this post helps me
