Greg Woolf

British Roman historian who wrote Becoming Roman (Roman provincial acculturation), Et Tu Brute? (death in Rome), and Tales of the Barbarians — director of the Institute of Classical Studies at London — specializing in the Roman provinces and how non-Roman peoples became Roman.

Provides the provincial perspective on Romanization — Becoming Roman's account of how the Gauls of southern France adopted Roman culture (not through force but through emulation of Roman status markers) provides the most nuanced account of how Roman civilization spread by being desired as well as imposed.
