Prof. Toni Ñaco del Hoyo (PhD 1996, UAB) is a specialist on Roman Republican history. His areas of research include taxation and finance, warfare and post-war strategies. He is a former Fullbrighter (UC Berkeley, 2004) and has held several postdoctoral fellowships (1998-2002), particularly at Oxford (Wolfson College), where he remains a member, before holding a five year Ramon y Cajal Research Fellowship until September 2009, when he joined ICREA.
He was the principal investigator of a research project granted by the H.F. Guggenheim Foundation (2007), and also by ICIP (RICIP, 2010). At present, he directs a research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science (HAR2010-19185, 2010-2013), and of a UAB Research Group (2243), studying the public policies after humanitarian crises in the Antiquity. Equally, he is the UAB Coordinator for the Network funded by the Flanders Research Foundation (2012-2017): 'Structural Determinants of Economic Performance in the Roman World'.

Research Interests
|
|
The main areas of my research deal with the history of the Middle and Late Roman Republic. It centres on the financial and military side-effects produced by the Roman intervention, from West to East, over the Mediterranean basin.
For the last twenty years (over five of them working in foreign research libraries) I have been researching five interconnected areas. First, I have studied the history of the Roman intervention in Hispania from a financial, monetary and tax standpoint, analysing the relationship between Republican taxation and the war economy. Secondly, I have been working on the Roman armies: logistical aspects, billeting policies and rearguard strategies. Thirdly some colleagues and I have studied the collateral damage suffered by non-combatants within the Mithridatic Wars (89-63 BC). More recently, I have launched a fourth research line on public policies after war disasters, and a fifth one on state management of Ancient humanitarian crises, both natural and 'man-made'.
