Recent Research Activities

Dr. Dandrow is currently researching Strabo and Greek Identity in the Age of Augustus.

He continues his work on addressing Roman monetization of upper Mesopotamia as well as the iconography of the Severan emperors from that region. These comprise the foundation for a larger study on the Coins of Roman Mesopotamia, which examines and catalogues the various coins issued from 161-251 AD in the Roman-controlled cities of Mesopotamia. In this work, he addresses the administrative and economic integration of the region into the Roman Empire, the coin types and denominations, the iconography of the coinage, and the coins as expressions of civic identities. He is also conducting research on Roman identity and the impact of the Persian Wars, which examines how Romano-Persian relations and conflicts affected Roman self-perception and literary and artistic traditions from the third to seventh centuries AD.
