A warm congratulations to Professor Jesper Majbom Madsen, who has been awarded Queen Margrethe’s Roman Prize 2025 for his remarkable ability to “connect the study of ancient Rome with contemporary issues.”
The prize was presented by Queen Margrethe herself at the Danish Institute in Rome.
The following day, Professor Madsen had the great honour of guiding Her Majesty through the Ara Pacis Museum and the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus.
Reflecting on the experience, Professor Madsen said:
“It was incredible experience receiving the award and meeting the Queen.”
Queen Margrethe’s Roman Prize was established by the Carlsberg Foundation in 2015.
Professor Jesper Majbom Madsen is Professor of Ancient History and head of the research group “Empires, States and Imperialism” at SDU.
