Hans-Friedrich Mueller, PhD, a.k.a. Molinarius, serves as the William D. Williams Professor and Chair of Classics at Union College in Schenectady, New York. He is a recipient of the American Philological Association's Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Classics as well as two awards for excellence in teaching at Florida State University. He developed a graduate distance program in classics for high school teachers and was himself a high school Latin teacher for six years. Mueller is the author of Roman Religion in Valerius Maximus (Routledge, 2002), the editor of an abridgment of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Modern Library, 2003), and the translator of Mehl's Roman Historiography (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011). Molinarius's high school teaching experience (combined with insights gained from four school-age daughters) has served him well as author of this text and as co-author (with Rose Williams) of Caesar: A LEGAMUS Transitional Reader (Bolchazy-Carducci, 2012).
