Gertrude Mary Hirst (January 22, 1869 – January 12, 1962), better known as G.
M.
Hirst, was an English-American classicist.
Her most influential publication was her 1926 proposal (in Classical World vol.
19) that Livy was born in 64 BC, rather than the traditional date of 59 BC; this claim would later also be advocated by academics including Ronald Syme.
