One month at Harvard: work in progress and research prospects

This talk is about three works by Prof. Dr. Anthony Álvarez Melero that are currently in progress. The first deals with the figure of Voconius Romanus, a friend of Pliny the Younger, and the reasons that did not lead him to join the Senate in Trajan's time, between his refusal of honours and his support for a rival of the emperor. The second focuses on the interpretation of a word engraved on a lost epitaph in Rome, "Matrona": is it an anthroponym or a noun? Finally, a last work, on a Hispanic senator whose onomastics might lead us to consider that he was from Gades. Suggestions or new incoming ideas are welcome.
