He has held an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (host institution: Technische Universität Dresden) and has been awarded funding through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Fronda was a senior associate of the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project. He has conducted archaeological fieldwork in Cyprus, Greece and Italy. His current research project examines how Rome's hegemony in Italy during the middle and late Republic was reinforced by the display of images, gestures, behaviors, rituals and so forth, enacted before an Italian audience.

The book highlights how each indivdual community's decision to defect or remain allied with Rome was strongly influenced by local political, economic and diplomatic conditions, including political factionalism and interstate rivalries.

His monograph Between Rome and Carthage: Southern Italy in the Second Punic War (Cambridge, 2010) examines the varied responses of Italian allied communities ( socii) to Hannibal's invasion of the peninsula and his string of stunning victories in the early years of the war. Professor Fronda's research centers on Pre-Roman and Roman Italy.
