Ancient social history, particularly the culture and society of Greek and Roman Egypt.
Jane Rowlandson's main research interests are in ancient social history, particularly the culture and society of Greek and Roman Egypt. She is the author of
Landowners and Tenants in Roman Egypt:
the social relations of agriculture in the Oxyrhynchite nome (OUP, 1996), and numerous articles on Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. Her current project, a book on The Culture of Roman Egypt, was funded by a three-year Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship (2001-2004). She belongs (along with Dominic Rathbone) to a research group, the International Workshop for Papyri and Social History, which collaborated to produce
Women and Society in Greek and Roman Egypt: a sourcebook (CUP, 1998).
