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.
