Professor Barton's book on the emotional life of the ancient Roman, The
Sorrows of the Ancient Romans; The Gladiator and the Monster, was
published in 1993 by Princeton University Press. A new book, Roman
Honor: The Fire in the Bones (a book on the sentiments of honor) will
be published this winter by Berkeley. It is on notions of the "Moment
of Truth," on confession, supplication and shame. In addition, four articles
on Roman honor will (or have) appeared including "The Roman Blush: the
Delicate Matter of Self-Control" (in Constructions of the Classical
Body) and "Being in the Eyes; Shame and Sight in Ancient Rome" (in
The Roman Gaze). She has been expanding her teaching repertoire
to include Global History and World Religions, as well as ancient Greece
and Rome.
