Ricardo (B.A. and M.A. Florida State University, Ph.D. University of Michigan) specializes in the culture, literature, and art of Augustan Rome, with particular emphasis on the way Augustan writers recreate the ancient history of the city. His interdisciplinary approach to Roman culture has led him to pursue extensive archaeological field work at the ancient sites of Pompeii and Gabii, as well as in Athens through the American School's excavation at the agora. Current projects include an article on the imperial Greek poet Crinagoras, another on Petrarch’s reception of Vergil in his Bucolicum Carmen, and a monograph on bucolic allusion and the Roman cityscape in Aeneid Book VIII.
