Dylan K. Rogers

Dr. Dylan K. Rogers (Lecturer in Roman Art and Archaeology, University of Virginia) 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). 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, including Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Major research interests 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.
