Kathleen Coleman

Kathleen Coleman

Kathleen M. Coleman is the Harvard College Professor of Latin. She was born in Zimbabwe, and taught at the University of Cape Town and Trinity College in Dublin before being appointed the Professor of Latin at Harvard in 2003. Due to her extensive knowledge of gladiatorial combat and its history, she acted as Chief Academic Consultant on the script of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator". Professor Coleman purportedly found her work as a historical consultant to have had such little effect that she asked not to be mentioned in the credits. Ultimately, she was thanked, but without any mention of her function. [Allen M. Ward, "Gladiator in Historical Perspective" in Winkler, Martin, M. "Gladiator: Film and History" (Oxford: Blackwell, 2004) p. 31] She has since contributed an essay "The Pedant Goes to Hollywood: The Role of the Academic Consultant" to Martin M. Winkler's collection of essays on the topic.
