Biography
Charles Matson Odahl obtained his doctorate in Greek, Roman, and Medieval History from the University of California, San Diego (1976). He has served as Professor of Ancient and Medieval History, and Classical and Patristic Latin at Boise State University in Idaho for over thirty years, and has traveled widely through Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and the Near East, teaching at universities in Britain and France, working at museums and archaeological sites, and directing tour-seminars in Italy, Greece and Turkey. His research specialties are Cicero and the late Roman Republic, early Christianity, and Constantine and the early Byzantine Empire. He has published some forty articles and reviews in scholarly journals, and recent books on Early Christian Latin Literature (Chicago, 1993), and Constantine and the Christian Empire (London and New York, 2004 and 2006).
"A useful read for those interested in the Roman Republic, Odahl’s book will also prove profitable reading for anyone interested in republican institutions." - The NYMAS Review
