My research focuses on Ancient Greek religion and epigraphy, particularly in the Hellenistic period. I am interested in the relationship between epigraphic culture and sacred space, and the manner in which regional varieties in religious practices or beliefs are represented in the epigraphic discourse. My doctorate was on the religious life of the island of Rhodes, and explored the unique and idiosyncratic organisation, character, and diachronic development of religion (cults, priesthoods, religious associations) in this island-state. I am currently working on publishing this work in the form of a monograph, with a particular focus on what this case-study tells us about Hellenistic religion and how to approach the large body of epigraphic evidence that survives from Rhodes.
