Thesis Title: Prokop und die Perser (Franz Steiner Verlag: Stuttgart 2007)

About

I studied History and Literature at the University of Kiel. My 2006 doctoral thesis „Prokop und die Perser“ („Procopius and the Persians“) was published in 2007; it deals with Procopius of Caesarea, the last major ancient historian, and with Roman-Persian relations in Late Antiquity. In 2010 I have co-edited „Commutatio et contentio. Studies in the Late Roman, Sasanian, and Early Islamic Near East“ (Düsseldorf 2010, with Josef Wiesehöfer) and I am currently preparing a volume on „Antimonarchic Discourse in Antiquity“.

Since 2008, I am „wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter“ (Assistant Professor) in Ancient History at Konstanz University, Germany. In my second book (Habilitation) I will deal with civil wars and „staseis“ in Greek cities during the Hellenistic Era.
