Research funded with the help of Memoria Romana

The project that was funded was on “Memory, Cult, and Identity in Roman Corinth”. I gave a paper at the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) in 2012 on an aspect of my work on this project, focused on the Temple of Apollo in Roman Corinth. I plan to give additional papers on this topic and produce articles on it in the next few years. I am also working on a book manuscript on this topic, which I plan to have completed after my next sabbatical in 2017.
