Recent Research Activities

Dr. Dandrow is currently researching and writing Greek Identities in Strabo's Geography.

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. He is currently researching the coins of Anthemusia and Carrhae. 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.

Dr. Dandrow also excavates at the ancient Greek city of Tios (Filyos, Turkey), where he serves as numismatist and in other capacities.  He is currently excavating the acropolis and harbor.
