Louise Revell is a lecturer in Roman Studies at the University of Southampton, and specialises in Roman public architecture and urbanism. Her research interests include the relationship between identity, ideology and imperialism, and their expression through material culture. Her work on buildings concentrates on social space as a way of understanding questions of integration and social differentiation. Her book Roman Imperialism and Local Identities explores the relationship between Roman identities and daily practice as experienced through public architecture in Iberia and Britain. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Roman Britain.
