The faculty is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Valentina Arena as the new Camden Professor of Ancient History.
Valentina’s work focuses mainly on the history of ancient ideas and ancient political thought as well as the wider intellectual landscape of the Roman Republic. She has investigated ancient theories of liberty and how they relate to their intellectual and political contexts as well as their potential contributions to contemporary political debates. She is also interested in antiquarianism, with a particular focus on Varro, ancient philosophy of language, and Roman constitutionalism.
Valentina was previously Professor of Ancient History at University College London
