Research Interests
Dr. Zarecki's research focuses on the history and literature of the Late Republic,
specifically the breakdown of the Roman constitution and the transition from
republic to empire. His primary interest lies in Cicero's writings, with particular
focus on the letters and philosophical works. Following the publication of
his first book, Cicero's Ideal Statesman in Theory and
Practice, in March 2013
he will start work on a comprehensive history of the Roman lictors. His other
research interests include Latin historiography, Horatian lyric poetry, and
ancient warfare.
