Visiting Professor of Archaeology | PhD, University of Virginia
Dylan K. Rogers (Lecturer in Roman Art and Archaeology) is a Classical Archaeologist, who specializes in Roman fountains and urbanism. From 2015-2019, Rogers served as the Assistant Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (Greece), where he often led students on study trips throughout the Greek mainland and the islands of Crete and Sicily. He is the author of Water Culture in Roman Society (Brill, 2018), and the co-editor of the volume, What’s New in Roman Greece? (National Hellenic Research Foundation, 2018).
Growing up in Virginia, Rogers dreamed of becoming an Early American Archaeologist—and he once had the opportunity to excavate at Jamestown. But after living in Viterbo (Italy) in high school, he turned his attention to Classical Archaeology, and Rogers has excavated and conducted fieldwork throughout the Mediterranean. He has been a field participant on the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia, the excavations at Morgantina on the island of Sicily, and at rescue excavations near the site of Pylos in Greece. Rogers has served as a trench supervisor at the sites of Ancient Corinth in Greece and Hacimusalar Höyük in Turkey. He has also acted as an Osteological Field Assistant on a project related to the restudy of human remains of the fifth-century BCE necropolis of Passo Marino at the site of Camarina in Sicily, with Dr. Carrie Sulosky Weaver. Rogers’ current research on fountains, which focuses on sensory experiences related to flowing water in antiquity, has taken him to numerous sites throughout the Roman world, including Egypt, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.
Major research interests in the field of Classical Archaeology of Rogers include the relationship between Roman identity and art (especially sculpture and mosaics), Roman domestic religion, Roman gardens, the topography of the cities of Rome and Athens, and the reception of Antiquity from the Renaissance through the modern period. At UVa, Rogers will be teaching the following courses for the 2019-2020 Academic Year: Roman Art and Archaeology, Sex and the Ancient City, Painting in the Ancient Mediterranean World, and the Archaeology of Destruction.
