Reviews

In Servilia, persuasion is from the outset supported by the authority Treggiari brings to the explanation of motive, an authority earned by demonstrated mastery of the materials, both ancient sources and modern scholarship, over many years and in the contexts of many debates. * Ramsay MacMullen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *

She has served as President of both the Association of Ancient Historians and the American Philological Association, and is a member of the American Academy and an Honorary Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall.
