M.A. Interdisciplinary Classics and Ancient History, Rutgers, 2024

I began to study classics academically from the beginning of undergrad, while my specific interest in Pannonia during late antiquity began during the first year of my masters. My latest research project was my master's thesis, Regalainus, Dryantilla, and the Carnuntum Mint, which investigated a particular brand of usurper coinage produced in Pannonia, specifically on the border city of Carnuntum, during the 3^rd century AD, using numismatics, prosopography, and literary sources. Over the course of my PhD, I wish to continue with this research at a broader level and trace the political transformations of Pannonia from the 4^th to 6^th centuries, from a well-defined province in the Roman Empire to a transitory region of steppe nomad-Germanic migration.
