Ok! So just the phrase wouldn’t turn you away if you were interested in the other content? (I’ve had a varied experience with needing to justify my work on “early Christian” things in Classics spaces!)

It depends on the province! A few other scholars are working on provincial law in more detail rn I think (like Yair Furstenberg + his local law project!). I’m more focused on literary things but am invested in the legal too.

Mainly focused on how people in the Roman provinces imagine Roman provincial courtrooms within texts and what that tells us about how they want the law to work! (Which is often at odds with how Roman governors want the law to work!).
