Books & Articles

Professor Shaw works on and teaches the history of the high and later Roman empire. His main regional focus is the North African provinces of the empire. He has also worked and published on the demography and social history of the Roman family. His current research interest is the problem of sectarian violence in Christian communities in Africa in the age of Augustine. He has published articles in all of these areas and, more recently, a sourcebook on Spartacus and the Slave Wars. He is also currently involved in the first volume of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, a new world history text that is being written by faculty in the Department of History at Princeton.
