Prof. Toher at UK conference

Mark Toher, professor of classics, read papers at two conferences in England. In June, he was a speaker at a conference on Herod and Augustus organized by the Institute of Jewish Studies (University College London). His topic was "Herod, Augustus and Nicolaus of Damascus." In July, he traveled to the Institute of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Wales, where he read "Divining the Text of Augustus' Autobiography" for a conference on Augustus' lost memoirs in historical and literary contexts. Each paper will be published in the proceedings of its conference.
