What the viral TikTok “how often do you think about the Roman empire” did not ask was what people imagine when they think of the Roman world. When I ask my first-year students to jot down three instant associations with the Roman world, the top three unmistakably includes marble, emperors, and war. We are conditioned […]

Many people these days talk about vulnerability: children, the elderly, and those who are poor are all described as vulnerable.
