In People and Institutions in the Roman Empire colleagues honor Garrett Fagan for his
contributions to our understanding and appreciation of Roman history and culture. In
addition to reviewing and contextualizing Fagan’s works and legacy, contributing authors
pursue in their chapters topics and methodologies that interested Fagan - the experiences of
individuals within Roman state and social institutions from the end of the Republic through
the Empire and into Late Antiquity.
Part One contextualizes Fagan’s scholarship, demonstrating the diversity of his interests and
his impact. Part Two considers the intersection between people and core state institutions:
army, law, and religion. Part Three examines Roman social and cultural institutions such as
the baths, arena, historiography, and provincial elite society.

People and Institutions in the Roman Empire: Essays in Memory of Garrett G. Fagan
"I found Eck’s detective work intriguing, Edmondson’s metaphors convincing, and Wilson’s potted history of the monogram delightful. Nevertheless, it is the more personal sections of this volume that are the most successful, both artistically and intellectually. The memories shared by Fagan’s friends and colleagues, and his own contribution, are full of affection and humour. Meanwhile, in the three reflective chapters, Gatzke, Lendon, and Rogers make strong cases for the importance of a number of themes arising from Fagan’s work that glint through in the other contributions." - Amy Russell, Brown University, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2021.07.03
''C’est à bon droit qu’est souligné le caractère pionnier de ses recherches et la diversité des sujets abordés montre l’étendue de sa curiosité et des pistes qu’il a ouvertes pour de futures recherches.'' - Catherine Wolff, in: Latomus 80.4 (Dec. 2021)
