Julia Mebane studies ancient Roman political thought and Latin literature, examining how Roman writers used ideas like the 'body politic' (the state imagined as a human body) and figures such as statesmen and generals to express political ideas. Her work also explores how classical texts and themes, including illness and disease in ancient Rome, have been received and reinterpreted in later periods. She engages closely with authors like Cicero, Lucan, and others from classical antiquity.
