classics at Brooklyn College, who is one of the few scholars working on

experts in the field of literature and history in this time of transition
between the Roman and Christian world, its past and current state, and the
future directions of study. His research, which draws primarily upon
literary evidence, reveals historical insight into the personalities
associated with the early Christian Empire.
