About Me

Ph.D. for Ancient History, Research Associate of the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford, Research Assistant of the Römisches Institut der Görres-Gesellschaft, Vatican State. My major interests are in Classical and Christian Epigraphy as well as in Christian Archaeology. I edited numerous scientific translations from the German language. Since 2017 I am actively collaborating in the project I.Sicily: a digital corpus of Sicilian inscriptions (Center for the Study of Ancient Documents – University of Oxford), working on the digital and printed edition of the Christian inscriptions from the catacombs in Siracusa (Sicily).
