Colin M. Wells, Professor

is an internationally recognized specialist in Roman history and archaeology and is the T. Frank Murchison Distinguished Professor of Classical Studies, as well as Professor of History. He received the D. Phil. from Oxford University. His works include The Roman Empire, published by Stanford University Press, and The German Policy of Augustus, published by Oxford University Press, and numerous articles on the Roman army and frontiers, Roman Africa, Roman Germany, and other subjects. He is particularly interested in Roman social history. Before coming to Trinity in 1987, Dr. Wells taught many years at the University of Ottawa in Canada. From 1976 to 1986 he excavated at Carthage, Tunisia, as Director of the Canadian team in the UNESCO "Save Carthage" project and is now continuing the excavations under Trinity auspices.

Professor Wells now resides with his wife, Kate, in Normandy, France. Former colleagues and students are invited to contact him at colin.wells@wanadoo.fr

Norman Parmer, Professor

Norman Parmer, now living in Ohio, is hardly keeping still. He is currently working on three books. Two of them are scholarly books, but one (and Norman expressed special excitement about this one) is a memoir of his experience in the Second World War, based both on a relatively recent visit to various battle grounds in Europe as well as a collection of some 350 letters he sent home from the front and that his mother preserved. Many of Norman's recollections of the war are compelling and we are delighted he wishes to share them with a broader public.
