David Magie (1877 \u00961960) was an American classical scholar, historian, and philologist at Princeton University, best known for his scholarship on Roman provincial rule and translation of the Historia Augusta. His major work, Roman Rule in Asia Minor, won him the first-ever Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit in 1951. Magie took part in the second Princeton Archaeological Expedition to Syria in 1909, led by Howard Crosby Butler. During World War I, he served briefly with the United States Department of Justice and later as a staff member of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace in Paris. Personal wealth enabled Magie to retire early, at 53, after which he devoted himself entirely to his studies. RAREC2005ABCV - 12\/25 - HK2999.
