Rubina Raja’s research explores visual culture and urbanism in the ancient world. Raja is studying the largest corpus of Roman-period portraits stemming from one location, namely Palmyra in Syria. These portraits will be the focus of her research at IAS, as they give new insight into the structure of religious life in Palmyra in the first three centuries C.E.
