Hans-Friedrich Mueller, professor and chair of Classics, delivered two lectures in Italy in June. He spoke on “Alacritas: Valerius Maximus and the Emotions of Roman Religion” at the University of Rome (“La Sapienza”) and on “Recuperating Aspects of Night in Ancient Rome: Law, Religion, and Historiography” at the University of Cassino.
In addition, Mueller's article, “Orosius and the Spectacle of Roman Religious Defeat,” has been published in Cignifiliana: Essays in Classics, Comparative Literature, and Philosophy presented to Professor Roy Arthur Swanson, edited by C.M. Schroeder (New York: Peter Lang, 2005).
