Research interests
A classicist interested in almost anything to do with Hellenic antiquity, from Homer to Julian. Specifically: Classical Greek historians; Greek literature and social history; epigraphy of Roman Asia Minor; papyrology; history of early Christianity; linguistics and ancient Greek; Second Sophistic. Research in the last two decades has come to focus particularly (but not exclusively) upon the impact of the Classical world and its languages on the rise of Christianity, especially as illuminated through the non-literary evidence.
