"Dr Cooley is interested in all aspects of the Roman world - social, cultural, economic, and political. Her research focuses upon Roman Italy in particular, and upon the use of inscriptions in both ancient and modern times. Recent books include a study of the spread of Latin in the inscriptions of the Roman West and an archaeological history of Pompeii. She contributes a regular series of short articles on Pompeii to the magazine Omnibus. She is currently working on two major projects, a new edition of the Res Gestae and the Cambridge Handbook to Latin Epigraphy (both Cambridge University Press). In 2004 she was awarded The Butterworth Memorial Teaching Award by the University."
