Davis Holden

Davis was introduced to the study of the ancient past in a course on Roman Law at the University of North Texas. While an undergraduate, he had his first forays into research in a project on the little-understood homo sacer, a condemned figure in archaic Roman law. After graduating with a degree in History, he spent a year teaching high school Latin, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He has yet to decide on a thesis topic, but he hopes to find one that combines multiple of his research interests. While he is thoroughly a Romanist, his favorite ancient author is Plato.

Outside of his studies, Davis is a lifelong jazz guitarist (and some classical), and he has recently taken up grilling.
