My research interests lie in the history of late antiquity, with particular interests in early Christianity and the history of ideas. My PhD was on the political theology of Ambrosiaster, an anonymous Christian writer of the later fourth century. My current major research project is on ideas and images of the Devil in late antiquity; I am also pursuing side topics on panegyric, late Latin commentary - especially Macrobius - and Polybius. In the future, I hope to embark on a major research project on anonymity and pseudonymity in antiquity.
