I just had a new piece published on the surprising number of Roman portraits that are uncritically treated as ancient objects but were likely manipulated in modernity. Please check it out!

I just had an article published in Source: Notes in the History of Art titled "(I’ve Got the) Magic Stick: The Virgus and Vitis in Roman Imperial and Early Christian Art."
Always pleased to slip in a reference to Lil' Kim in a piece on imperial iconography: www.journals.uchicago.edu/eprint/6TCKK...

I teach in Rome every spring and usually issue a challenge of some kind for my students in the city. One year I suggested they talk to Francis. A group of young men went out and found him. He told them all to become priests. 😇 ❤️

I recently did some research at the @jfklibraryfdn.bsky.social. Everyone there-- from the librarians to the security guards-- couldn't have been nicer, more accommodating, or knowledgeable. It was not overrun w/ staff; just a great bunch of people dutifully safeguarding papers and artifacts. (1/2)

I just posted a preview of my latest on Paul and the Moon for HTR on Academia:

Come for the bizarre topic, stay for the very Millennial scholar citing of music lyrics. Managed Sinatra, Lennon, REM, & Bowie. Have another coming out next month w/Lil' Kim in the title.
