Biography
Amy Russell is Associate Professor of Classics and History. She is a Roman historian of the political culture of the Roman Republic, with a particular interest in space and architecture. Her previous publications center on public and private space in the city of Rome, the tribunate of the plebs, and the role of the Senate in the shift from Republic to empire. Forthcoming works take on the relationship between German and Anglophone scholarship on the Roman Republic and the spatial turn in Roman studies. While in residence at the institute she will work on the way political communities are constituted in Rome and beyond, focusing on the legal concept of the populus Romanus.
