Agrippa the Second Emperor: A Lost Story Told on Roman Coins
Gaius Stern
Monday, 07 Nov 2005 at 7:00 pm – Gallery, Memorial Union
Gaius Stern is a lecturer and doctoral candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the translator of Gianfranco Moneta's Giubileo 2000, Viaggio nell' Italia dell' Anno Santo.This lecture was made possible in part by the generosity of F. Wendell Miller, who left his entire estate jointly to Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Mr. Miller, who died in 1995 at age 97, was born in Altoona, Illinois, grew up in Rockwell City, graduated from Grinnell College and Harvard Law School and practiced law in Des Moines and Chicago before returning to Rockwell City to manage his family's farm holdings and to practice law. His will helped to establish the F. Wendell Miller Trust, the annual earnings on which, in part, helped to support this activity.
