Roman K. Kovalev

Roman K. Kovalev

Roman K. Kovalev is an assistant professor of history at the College of New Jersey where he teaches classes on Russian history and culture as well as seminars focused on his more specific areas of study. He holds a PhD in history from the University of Minnesota. His writings have focused on early Russian history and archaeology, the Scythians, Cimmerians, Huns, Khazars, Pechenegs, Oghuz, and Kipchaks.

Kovalev has authored some of the most up to date and comprehensive analsyses of the economic history of the Pontic steppe, including the Scandinavian-Middle Eastern trade routes and the rise of the Kievan Rus.

In 2005, Kovalev wrote the first detailed analysis of Khazar coins discovered in the Spillings horde and at other dig sites. He formulated the hypothesis that these coins, which were struck in imitation of Caliphate dirhems and bore the inscription "Moses is the Prophet of God", were intended to commemorate the conversion of the Khazar kingdom to Judaism, an event which Kovalev (and now other Khazar researchers, including Kevin A. Brook) dates to the year 838 CE.
