Stefan Loos is a master’s student in Classics. Before coming to Colorado, he received his B.A. in History from the University of Houston. His research focuses primarily on Roman imperial history; he is interested in historiography, identity, and ethnicity as they relate to the Roman provinces. He is especially interested in the modern reception of Roman imperial power and its influence on contemporary politics and culture. His previous research explored the formation of Greco-Roman literary stereotypes regarding ancient Syria, the writings of the second-century author Lucian of Samosata, and the historical accounts of the third-century emperor Elagabalus’ reign.
