David Wallace-Hare is a specialist in Roman social history and Latin literature whose work focuses on living pastoral populations in the Roman west and tropes about pastoralists in Graeco-Roman literature. His doctoral research examines the phenomenon of ethnic economies in mixed industrial zones in the Roman west, specifically forested mountain zones where pastoralism (animal herding) was traditionally practiced and where intensive mining and quarrying operations were then introduced or drastically expanded under the Romans.
