Tyler Broome

Tyler is a 2nd year PhD candidate in Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham.

Tyler's research focuses on political communication in the late Roman Republic (1st century BC), applying the sociological concept of role theory to the letters of the Roman statesman and orator Cicero.

More generally, Tyler is interested in Roman social history and political self-presentation/propaganda, as well as the relationship between ancient ideas of rhetoric and self-presentation and their counterparts in modern politics and media.
