BIOGRAPHY

Malloch1 copy.jpg

I am a Professor of Classics in the Department of Classics and Archaeology in the University of Nottingham and a member of the Faculty of Archaeology, History, and Letters in the British School at Rome.

​

In October 2025 I move to Oxford to become Bowra Tutor and Fellow in Classics at Wadham College and Professor of Latin language and literature in the University.

​​

My research is located at the intersection of Roman literature and Roman history. Particular interests: Roman historiography of the late Republic and early Principate; the historiography of Roman legal and constitutional history; and  the classical tradition, including the transmission of Latin texts, the editing and textual criticism of Latin texts, the scholarly genre of commentary, and the history of scholarship.

​

I took my undergraduate degree from the University of Western Australia and my doctorate from St John's College in the University of Cambridge. Since graduating I have held appointments in Dublin, Munich (Thesaurus Linguae Latinae and LMU), Cambridge, and Oxford (Visiting Fellow of All Souls College).

​

I am a founding editor of the monograph series Trends in Classics: Key Perspectives on Classical Research published by De Gruyter.
