  • Erich Stephen Gruen (born May, 1935, in Vienna, Austria) is a notable American classicist and ancient historian. He is the Gladys Rehard Wood Professor of History and Classics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught since 1966. He served as president of the American Philological Association in 1992. Born in Vienna, he received BAs from Columbia University and Oxford University, and the PhD from Harvard University, in 1964. His earlier work focussed on the later Roman Republic, and culminated in The Last Generation of the Roman Republic, a work often cited as a response to Ronald Syme's The Roman Revolution. Gruen's argument is that the Republic was not in decay, and so not necessarily in need of "rescue" by Caesar Augustus and the institutions of the Empire. He later worked on the Hellenistic period and on Judaism in the classical world. Gruen taught what is purportedly his final undergraduate lecture course, The Hellenistic World, in the Fall of 2006. He will continue to teach graduate seminars at U.C. Berkeley (en)
