The Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome began in 1915 and were published almost annually, with the exception of the years of the two world wars, until 1980. The present volumes demonstrate the Academy's dedication to the continuation of this series. Representing the interests of the American Academy in Rome, its fellows and residents, and the larger international community that congregates around its excellent library and facilities, the Memoirs series (MAAR) presents ambitious and substantial articles in the fields represented by the American Academy, including but not limited to Roman archeology and topography, ancient history, Latin literature, and classical art history.
