Down in Pompeii: A Sexual Graffito in Verse ( Cil 4.9123)
This article revisits a famous graffiti poem from Pompeii ( CIL 4.9123). It argues that the poem is both more erotically charged and more cleverly metaliterary than previously recognized; and that this reading of the poem offers new evidence for the literary richness of Pompeii's graffiti culture
A Servile Riddle From Pompeii? ( Cil 4.1877)
This article reconsiders a graffitied riddle from Pompeii ( CIL 4.1877). It argues that slavery is one possible dimension of the puzzle, and that acknowledging the existence of slavery in this text testifies to the potential of Pompeian graffiti as a source for overlooked social histories

In this article, I use this metaphor as an entry-point to reconsider the importance of citizenship and language …

In the late second or early …

This book combines sociolinguistic and historical approaches to explore how that power is deployed by the bilingual elite of the Roman Republic and Empire, offering the first systematic analysis of Greek code-switches in the letters of Cicero, Pliny, Marcus Aurelius and Fronto and in the Lives of Suetonius. …
