Barbara Weinlich is a Latinist with publications on the poetry of the post-Triumviral and proto-Imperial era as well as on Studies of the Classical Reception. After completing the manuscript of a monograph that attempts to pinpoint the political dimension of the Love Elegies of Propertius, she is now working on a monograph in which she explores the political connotation of geography and geographical markers (monuments, cities, rivers, and regions) in early Augustan poetry.
