Mark Toher, professor of classics, has received a Loeb Classical Library Foundation Fellowship from Harvard University in support of his work on an edition with text, translation and commentary of the life of the first Roman emperor Augustus by a contemporary Greek writer, Nicolaus of Damascus. The sabbatical enhancement grant for the next academic year is $30,000, the maximum award under the program. He will also be a visiting scholar of Wolfson College in Oxford next year.
