I am an ancient historian, with particular expertise in epigraphy and numismatics. My research explores the political and economic history of the Greek world, from the Archaic period through to the Hellenistic, especially at the interface of imperial power and civic autonomy.
I completed my DPhil thesis, entitled ‘Athenian Power in the Fifth Century’ in Oxford at the end of 2019, and I am now in the process of turning it into a monograph. Challenging orthodox approaches, which have been mostly empirical and monolithic, the monograph will argue that Athenian power was flexible and a matter of negotiation between the Athenians and their allies.
Since completing my doctorate, I have held teaching posts at Corpus Christi College in Oxford, and in the Classics Faculty in Cambridge. I joined the CHANGE project in September 2021, as the postdoctoral researcher focused on numismatic evidence. I will help to create online resources to support the study of coinage in ancient Anatolia. I will also work on my second monograph project. Building on my interest in the interaction between cities and empires, I will investigate how the monetary economies of cities in Western Asia Minor were impacted by different imperial powers, from the Archaic period through to the coming of Rome.
