Hannah Edwards

Hannah Edwards is a sixth-year PhD candidate in Ancient History. Her research focuses on the political and cultural history of Hellenistic and Roman Greece, and she has a special interest in Macedonia. She is interested in conceptions of ancient identity, power, symbols, and nationalism.     

Edwards' current research asks: What does it mean to be Macedonian in the Hellenistic and Roman periods? How is this identity formed and represented in the archaeological record?" During this fellowship, she plans on finishing two dissertation chapters, which both incorporate collective identity and cultural memory frameworks. The first chapter analyzes Macedonian iconography in the material record, while the second chapter confronts Macedonian diaspora communities in the ancient world.
