Andrew Johnston is an Associate Professor of Classics and (by courtesy) History at Yale University. His research focuses on Roman cultural history, memory, identity, and cultural interaction, with particular attention to the Roman West and peripheries of the Classical world. He holds a B.A. from the University of Illinois (2006) and a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2012). His notable work includes The Sons of Remus: Identity in Roman Gaul and Spain (2017), which won prestigious awards. He is currently researching the role of kingship in Roman culture and directs the Gabii Project field school near Rome, excavating the ancient city of Gabii. He also serves as Assistant Director of the City of the Baboon Project in Egypt. His teaching spans Latin epigraphy, Roman historiography, and ancient historiography.
Johnston’s research integrates archaeology, epigraphy, and textual analysis to explore how communities negotiated cultural identity under Roman rule. His recent work on Gabii has revealed insights into urban development and Republican-era town planning. He frequently publishes on Roman archaeology, material culture, and the intersection of Greek and Roman imperial dynamics. His current projects include a book on Roman perceptions of kingship and ongoing excavations in Italy and Egypt.
His awards include the 2019 First Book Award and Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit. Beyond academia, he mentors students in fieldwork and encourages interdisciplinary approaches to ancient history. His courses, such as Latin Inscriptions and the Roman World, reflect his commitment to connecting material evidence with textual sources.
