About
Steven Ellis is a Roman Archaeologist who, having completed his PhD in 2005 at the University of Sydney, spent the next two years at the University of Michigan where he lectured in classical archaeology. At Cincinnati he continues to be actively involved in the archaeological research and publication of urban and sacred sites in Italy and Greece. In Italy, Steven directs the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (http://classics.uc.edu/pompeii/), and is editor of the forthcoming book ‘The Making of Pompeii: studies in the history and urban development of an ancient city’ (JRA suppl. forthcoming, 2011). In Greece he is the co-director of the East Isthmia Archaeology Project. Beyond his interests in the archaeology of urban sites, Steven finds himself intrigued by social habits and customs in antiquity, and how we might recognize these through the archaeological, art-historical, and historical records. His future research will continue to illustrate the role that non-elites played in the shaping of ancient cities, and will include a book on retailing in the Roman world.
