Academic research/areas of interest

Nulton works mainly in the area of classical archaeology and art. Much of his research has focused on the intersections of ancient Greek and Roman art, religion and culture. Recent publications include a monograph on an Athenian sanctuary of Apollo dating to the early empire and an article that proposes that certain famous “Classical” reliefs were actually designed and executed in the classical style during the imperial period. He is currently engaged in research regarding portraits of Alexander the Great. His favorite topics include sculpture, architecture, religion and epigraphy.
