Since 2005 Professor Hoff has directed the excavations at the Roman-era city of Antiochia ad Cragum in Rough Cilicia. He is also a specialist in the field of Roman architecture, and will shed light on the well-preserved structural remains of antiquity we will encounter as well as provide necessary background for Roman presence in the region.
