RESEARCH

Dr. Chlup’s research interests cover the history of the ancient Roman world with a special focus on the ancient sources of the Middle and Late Roman Republic (c. 300-30 BCE), especially Livy’s history and Plutarch’s biographies.  He is also interested in the Roman Middle East.

He is currently working on two major projects.
 
The first is a study of Marcus Licinius Crassus as represented in ancient Roman sources including Plutarch, Appian, and Cassius Dio, which will (eventually) culminate in a commentary on Plutarch’s Life of Crassus.
 
The second is a study of the Romans and the Arabian peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, and possibly other places).

He has given papers at conferences and research seminars in Canada, England, Scotland, France, Portugal, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.  He has widely travelled through the Middle East, especially Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon as part of his research.
