The [Spanish Society of Classical Studies in Valencia and Castelló](http://www.estudiosclasicos.org/secciones-de-la-seec/seec-valencia/) has awarded Juan José Ferrer Maestro, Full Professor of Ancient History at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), the Classical World Award in recognition of "his solvency in the transmission of knowledge about ancient civilisations and his contributions to research into ancient history". María Teresa Cases Fandos, head of the Latin department at the Honori Garcia Secondary School in La Vall d'Uixó, and the group Museum Scaenicum also received awards in the same competition.

The award was presented during the annual assembly of the Castelló-Valencia section of the Spanish Society of Classical Studies held on Thursday 22 June at the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of Valencia. Professor Ferrer was accompanied, in addition to family and friends, by the Vice-Rector for Research of the UJI, Dr Jesús Lancis.

Professor Ferrer's research career is focused especially on the Roman period and, more specifically, on the economy of that empire. He is the author of the only book published in Spain on the Roman economy, *Economía de la antigua Roma: guerra, comercio y finanzas* (Editorial Síntesis, 2019), and has coordinated the archaeological work on Roman settlement in the northern part of Saguntum, financed by the Valencian Government, in collaboration with the departments of Geography and Tourism of the UJI.

Some of his works published in this field include *La República participada. Intereses privados y negocios públicos en Roma*, where he analyses the relationship between the ideology of expansionism and the benefits it brings to the ruling classes*; Historia de la Hispania romana* (as a co-author), which updates the data on the political, social and economic aspects of Roman identity in the Iberian Peninsula; *Catilina: desigualdad y revolución*, which deals with the influence of financial power, institutional manipulation, the corruption of the leading classes and the serious social imbalances in the Early Republic; or *Saguntum y La Plana: una ciudad romana y su territorio,* (as a co-author), which studies the economic and administrative relationship between the city of Saguntum and the present day region of La Plana in Castelló.

Juan José Ferrer is currently emeritus professor of the Department of History, Geography and Art of the UJI, to which he has been linked for three decades as head of the research group [ANTIQUA – Ancient History and Archaeology](https://www.uji.es/serveis/ocit/base/grupsinvestigacio/detall?codi=226) and of teaching in this area of knowledge. He has also been a member of the CLHIOS educational innovation group on content and language applied to the Humanities and Health Sciences.

He has been co-director of the European Historical Research Group: Religion, Power and Monarchy, and has been a member of the editorial boards of the journals *Potestas* (published annually by the European group bearing this name) and *Millars. Espai i Història*. He has authored 10 books and around 100 book chapters and articles, supervised 8 doctoral theses, and given a number of academic presentations and lectures.

He has also been a visiting professor at the Historisches Institut of the University of Potsdam in Germany and a corresponding member of the Spanish Royal Academy of History. He has participated in 32 research projects and contracts as principal investigator, including the ministerial projects Mars atque Mercurius I and II, which explore the relationship between expansionist warfare and economic exploitation.

Ferrer has also held a series of managerial positions, namely Vice-Rector for Infrastructures and Services and Vice-Rector for Culture and University Development at the Universitat Jaume I, coordinator of doctoral studies and director of the Department of History, Geography and Art, as well as a member of various committees representing the institution, such as the Municipal Culture Council of Castelló de la Plana or the Spanish University Sports Committee.

The Castelló-Valencia section of the Spanish Society of Classical Studies organises these annual awards with the aim of promoting the knowledge and dissemination of classical culture and research in this field. They are structured in two categories, one aimed at professionals, which acknowledges their career and contributions, and another that recognises specific merits made by an individual or organisation in the field of classical culture.
