Max’s work consisted of a digital project that mapped sight lines and visibility as travelers came from Veii along the Via Veientana / Via Triumphalis to Rome. One of his aims was to test Professor Mignone’s hypothesis for the location and visibility of the temple of Juno Regina on the Aventine. One of the most exciting aspects of his research was how Max’s digitization raised questions about the lack of temples on the Quirinal Hill. Then lo and behold, earlier this month a major discovery was announced on the Quirinal: a house near a monumental temple from the 5th century BCE!
Max’s research was a hit at the recent Brown Bearings Admissions Open House (for potential undergraduate applicants with an interest in humanities), and he will be presenting a poster next month at Brown Connect (a program of Brown’s Career Lab) on Saturday, October 17th from 10-11am. Congratulations to both Max and Professor Mignone!
