Marlene Peinhopf
Marlene Peinhopf's research focuses on Roman civil and criminal law as well as criminal procedure in the Republic and the Principate, on the interactions between law and rhetoric in antiquity and on the use of Greek terms in the Digest. Particular attention is paid to gender and diversity-specific aspects in all topics; Peinhopf's dissertation deals with the female prototypes of venefica, adultera and meretrix. Marlene Peinhopf translates academic essays and monographs into German, Italian and English and is co-editor of the Leda series. In addition to Roman law in all its facets (e.g. obligations, family and inheritance law; ancient moot courts), she also teaches Latin to law students. She has completed research and teaching stays in Milan, Rome and Innsbruck and regularly takes part in international conferences. She is currently responsible for the project "I.U.S. - Interaction Universities Schools. Roman law beyond science".
