About
My PhD (London 2004) was on the 'provincialization' of Republican Sicily, examining various aspects (identity, epigraphy, military presence) of the transformation of the island under Roman provincial rule and the development of Roman provincial government in relation to the first provincia of the Republican empire. The major elements of that study are now published in various articles in JRS, PBSR and elsewhere. The majority of my current research begins from that starting point, engaging with epigraphic evidence (particularly from Hellenistic Sicily), examining questions of identity in the western Mediterranean (including Punic identity), and exploring the origins and development of the provincial system under the Roman Republic, as well as continuing to work on the principal literary source for Roman Sicily, Cicero's Verrines. I am actively participating in collaborative projects with colleagues in France, Italy, and Spain.
