Salve, amici! (Hello, friends!)

I’ve been fascinated with Ancient Rome since I was a child. What intrigued me most, however, was not the heroes of historical legend, but the people who lived behind the scenes, whose voices have been lost to time. Join me as I explore the hidden side of Ancient Rome, its voiceless people, and its shadowed streets.

Qui ego sum? (Who am I?)

I’m a public historian who is passionate about making history engaging and accessible to everyone, no matter what their background or education is. I have my master’s in history as well as a graduate certificate in public history from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. In addition to being a writer, I am also the associate editor for the Biographers International Organization.
