Professor Matthew Fox is a specialist in classical literature, particularly focusing on the assimilations of Greek culture within Roman culture. Among his numerous studies and works which explore the way these two classical civilizations used history to express their cultural identity, notable titles include “Roman Historical Myths: the Regal Period in Augustan Literature” (1996) and “Cicero’s Philosophy of History” (2007).
