Honor Cargill-Martin

My research focuses on Scandal and Scandalisation in Rome between the Late Second Century BC and the end of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.  These dramatic moments of group response to revealed transgression, I argue, can elucidate morality attitudes, political dynamics, and the relationship between the present and past during a period of fundamental transformation in Roman society.

I also write narrative history, including a biography of the Empress Messalina, published in 2023.
