New article out

Classical Quarterly has just published a new article by me on Suetonius’ Life of Titus and the allusive representation of that emperor’s relationship with the Herodian Berenice. You can find the article here.

I didn’t get the chance to properly acknowledge those who helped with this paper: Kathleen Coleman, Richard Thomas, Lauren Ginsberg and Daniel Markovic. I hope that the topic – at the intersection of Jewish history, Latin literature, translation – might have been to the taste of my friend Isaac Meyers, may his memory be a blessing.
