MA in Art History
Piper Kozar-Meyers
Piper Kozar-Meyers (she/they) is a first year MA student in art history with a focus in early Roman Imperial arts. She plans to mainly focus on numismatics, looking into the use of portraiture and symbolism as propaganda in the Roman sphere. Finishing her undergraduate career, Piper wrote her thesis on portraits of Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus both in sculpture and on coins, and the symbolism and propaganda used to legitimize their seats of power.
Piper received her BA in art history with a minor in history in May of 2023 from Eastern Connecticut State University. There, she worked as a research assistant to her anthropology professor, cataloging and photographing Cahokia pottery sherds. While an undergraduate, she also presented conference papers on portraits of Nefertiti, examining the symbolism and mysticism around the lineage of Nefertiti, and her claims to the Egyptian throne.
