Biography

Jennifer Trimble is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics at Stanford University. Her research primarily focuses on visual material culture in the Roman Empire, particularly concerning portraits, replication practices, visual culture relating to Roman slavery, and comparative urbanism. Trimble authored the book 'Women, Visual Replication, and Roman Imperial Art Culture,' published by Cambridge University Press in 2011, which delves into the role of visual sameness in constructing public identities and articulating imperial places. She has been actively involved in archaeological projects, notably co-directing the IRC-Oxford-Stanford excavations at the Roman Forum. Additionally, Trimble co-directed the Stanford Digital Forma Urbis Romae Project, collaborating with computer scientists and archaeologists to reconstruct fragmentary ancient maps of the city of Rome. Her academic contributions extend beyond research to teaching and mentoring students in the field of classics.
