Maggie L. Popkin

Maggie L. Popkin is the Robson Junior Professor and associate professor of art history at Case Western Reserve University and a member of the American Excavations on Samothrace. Her research focuses on the impact of art and architecture on individual and social remembering in the Graeco-Roman world. Her first book, The Architecture of the Roman Triumph: Monuments, Memory, and Identity (Cambridge University Press, 2016), examined the monuments built along the triumphal route in Rome and their role in shaping how Romans experienced and remembered the ritual of the triumph. Her current project investigates souvenirs and memorabilia in the Roman Empire as generators of shared knowledge and cultural connectivity. Her work has been supported by the Fulbright Organization, the Max-Planck Institute, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
