Department Page contd Hoopes Prize-winning research in Classics Photo of student Alejandro Quintana 20 concentrated in Classical Languages and Literatures. He explores how interdisciplinary methodologies centered on textual sources inform our knowledge of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean. He won the Hoopes Prize for his thesis Local Migration in the Arsinoite Nome of Egypt during the Early Principate. His thesis explores the understudied topic of local migration in Roman Egypt as revealed by the vast number of papyrus documents which survived in its territory. From the starting point of an edition of a previously unpublished Roman document in UC-Berkeley's collection, he demonstrates the importance of small-scale migration in the province on local societies and reveals the paradoxical way the Roman administration accounted for the phenomenon.
