The Maghrib Before the Maghrib<\/p>\n

On Friday, April 16th at 12:00 PM MST.<\/p>\n

The map of the western\u00a0Mediterranean from an ancient perspective, from Carthaginians to Romans.\u00a0 What were the neighborhoods, what were the routes of communication?\u00a0 Why was the Visigothic king Alaric buried where he was?\u00a0 (Photo of the likely site attached)”<\/p>\n

Jim O’Donnell is Professor in SHPRS and University Librarian.\u00a0 He has degrees from Princeton and Yale and worked and taught in late antique studies in the classics departments of Bryn Mawr, Cornell, and Penn for many years before serving as Provost at Georgetown from 2002-2012.\u00a0 He is a Fellow of the Medieval Academy and served as President of the American Philological Association in 2003.\u00a0 His scholarly work has concentrated on the fourth through sixth centuries CE and specially on Augustine of Hippo.\u00a0 His edition of Augustine’s Confessions in three volumes (1992) is a standard work, which he followed with Augustine:\u00a0 A New Biography in 2005.\u00a0 Since then he has published The Ruin of the Roman Empire (2008), Pagans (2015), and The War for Gaul (2019), a new translation with what he calls an impertinent commentary on Caesar’s account of his terrorist campaigns on the northern frontier.\u00a0 His Avatars of the Word (2008) studies the development of the technologies of communication in western cultures from ancient times to the rise of the Internet.<\/p>\n
