Dr. Caroline Barron is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. She joined the university in 2021 after working at Birkbeck, the CNRS at Aix-Marseille Université, and King's College London. Her research focuses on Latin epigraphy's cultural and historical significance across antiquity and modern times, examining how inscriptions were composed, read, and integrated into ancient landscapes. She is also a member of the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies.
Her research interests include Latin epigraphy, epigraphic forgery, digital epigraphy, Roman Tripolitania, and the history of collecting. She explores interdisciplinary themes such as the reception of classical material in modern contexts, the dynamics of ancient inscription creation, and the role of epigraphy in shaping historical narratives.
Barron has published works analyzing 18th-century art markets, epigraphic collections, and Roman inscriptions in North Africa. Her articles highlight trends in cultural heritage, collecting practices, and the intersection of linguistics with historical geography. Notable awards include the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship (2019) and the Rome Award from the British School at Rome (2018). Though no formal grants or advising roles are listed, her work emphasizes historical and epigraphic methodologies. She collaborates with institutions like the British School at Rome and contributes to interdisciplinary teams within Durham's Classics and Medieval Studies frameworks.
