Cam Grey is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Penn. He has a Ph.D. (Classics) from St John’s College, Cambridge, an M. Phil. (Ancient History) from the University of Sydney and a B. A. (Ancient History and Archaeology) from the University of Auckland. He works on Roman social and economic history, particularly the history of non-elite and marginal populations such as beggars, criminals, and foreigners. His doctoral work focused on how rural communities functioned in Late Antiquity, and what happened when consensus broke down. He is also interested in the use of comparative methodologies, theoretical perspectives and model-building in contemporary ancient history writing. His teaching covers topics in Roman social, economic, agrarian and legal history, from the Archaic period to Late Antiquity; and Greek and Roman historiography, both ancient and modern.
