ANCIENT SOURCES, MODERN PARADIGMS: Examining the primary sources concerning Gaius Marius’ supposed reform of Roman recruitment practices.
James is in his first year of a Masters program in Classical Studies at Western University. His main area of interest is the period ca. 250 – 750CE, which saw the decline and eventual collapse of the Roman Empire and the birth of the early medieval kingdoms in western Europe. His submission to this year’s GUA awards, however, deals with the Late Roman Republic in the last century BCE, a period of history which James had previously not studied in-depth.
James is honoured to be a two-time Global winner, and he is very excited to be attending the Summit again this November.
