‘Roman Priests from Republic to Empire’, has its first review! Largely positive, although not without its faults. I excerpt: “The book’s great strength lies in the details, in the individual semantic studies and close readings, which are uniformly thoughtful and sensitive to complexity and nuance”.

It’s publication day! It’s a pleasure to finally see this edited volume in print. A massive thank you to my co-editors and to all the collaborators to the volume. It’s a pleasure to bring together a wealth of scholars from across the world, all asking questions about the Roman Censorship.

My last visit to Glasgow as Lecturer in Classics to attend my last graduation. It’s a privilege to don the gown and celebrate our students’ successes. #graduations #glasgowuni #classics #celebrations

A busy week in Glasgow, from a paper on the power of the populus during the Caesarian dictatorship and triumviral period, to coin handling with Scottish doctoral students #workshop #glasgow #ancientcoins #romanhistory

A big, emotional week, marking my last teaching semester at the University of Glasgow. Privileged to be nominated for an Outstanding Teaching Excellence Award at the end of it all. It has been an honour and privilege to teach such a talented bunch of students, and to learn from my colleagues.

Always a thrill and a delight to have the opportunity to run coin handling sessions with my undergraduates and postgraduates #romanhistory #numismatics #idesofmarch #hunterianmuseum #fallofrome @hunterianglasgow.bsky.social

It’s publication day! It is pretty surreal to be published with Oxford University Press. Thank you to all those friends, family, colleagues and students who have made this possible! AUFLY30 for 30% off on the OUP website if, for some reason, you wanted to think about Roman priests!

A fantastic achievement @dralexa.bsky.social ! 👏🎉 What is the most interesting thing that our audience will learn from "Roman Priests from Republic to Empire", or do they have to read to find out...📗🗃

Dr Alex A. @dralexa.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

Of the 500 or so priests discussed in the book - everyone from Romulus to Hadrian - perhaps my favourite is L. Volusius Saturninus, who died at 93, held multiple priesthoods, and was honoured by the senate and emperor Nero with a whopping seven statues in Rome en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_...

Teaching Beginner’s Latin for a group of 40+. I set two pieces of homework a week - one I mark, one that I have them peer-mark, and only go through in class those exercises they struggled with. I also set a formative, marked, practice test and exam. It’s a lot of work, but find it helpful!
