Jens Koehler, born in Bremen, Germany, studied Classical Archaeology, Ancient History, and the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East at the universities of Marburg and Munich. He wrote his PhD thesis on festivals and processions of the Hellenistic period. Since the early 1990s, he has been living in Rome, where he worked several years for the German Archaeological Institute, preparing, among other things, the catalog of ancient sculptures in the Vatican Museums. He is doing research and has published on ancient Roman spa baths. More recently, he started to investigate ancient hydraulic engineering; after a project on the water supply in Hadrian's villa at Tivoli, he continues to work on aqueducts and latrines. In 2003, he joined JCU to teach courses in archaeology, Roman art, and architecture.
