My last visit to Glasgow as Lecturer in Classics to attend my last graduation. It’s a privilege to don the gown and celebrate our students’ successes. #graduations #glasgowuni #classics #celebrations

A busy week in Glasgow, from a paper on the power of the populus during the Caesarian dictatorship and triumviral period, to coin handling with Scottish doctoral students #workshop #glasgow #ancientcoins #romanhistory

Proofs to brighten this miserable and rainy Monday. So excited that this is finally nearly out in the world. #ancienthistory #rome #editedvolume #proofs

A big, emotional week, marking my last teaching semester at the University of Glasgow. Privileged to be nominated for an Outstanding Teaching Excellence Award at the end of it all. It has been an honour and privilege to teach such a talented bunch of students, and to learn from my colleagues.

Always a thrill and a delight to have the opportunity to run coin handling sessions with my undergraduates and postgraduates #romanhistory #numismatics #idesofmarch #hunterianmuseum #fallofrome @hunterianglasgow.bsky.social

Looking forward to teaching an #EpiDoc workshop with @ndefaoite.bsky.social @trishaoconnor88.bsky.social & @dralexa.bsky.social all this week. A wonderful array of expertise for a multidisciplinary workshop!

It’s publication day! It is pretty surreal to be published with Oxford University Press. Thank you to all those friends, family, colleagues and students who have made this possible! AUFLY30 for 30% off on the OUP website if, for some reason, you wanted to think about Roman priests!

Been so busy, I haven’t had a chance to post that my first monograph is now digitally available on Oxford Academic, with print publication within a month! academic.oup.com/book/61615?l...

Finishing the teaching year with more coin handling with the Hunterian collection #ancienthistory #numismatics #romanhistory #hunterianmuseum

Handling late republican coins with my honours students from the Hunterian’s collections, not a bad way to end a stressful week @hunterianglasgow.bsky.social

Only three more days of teaching for the calendar year!
