About
I am a classicist and ancient historian with a focus on the Roman Republic — its people, its politics, and the social networks that shaped one of history's most consequential civilisations.
My work sits at the boundary between traditional scholarship and digital humanities. I am particularly interested in how computational tools and visualisation can make prosopographical research more accessible, more intuitive, and more powerful.
When I'm not in archives or writing code, I am probably reading Cicero's letters or thinking about the social dynamics of the late Republic.
Research
My research centres on the Roman Republic, with particular attention to prosopography, social networks, and political culture. I am interested in how digital methods can illuminate patterns in ancient evidence that traditional scholarship might overlook.
The study of individual lives, careers, and relationships within the Roman Republican elite — and how those networks shaped political outcomes.
Applying quantitative and computational methods to map the webs of amicitia, kinship, patronage, and alliance that structured Roman political life.
How Romans understood, performed, and contested political power in the turbulent final century of Republican government.
Building tools and visualisations that make ancient evidence more accessible — from interactive network graphs to data-driven explorations of classical texts.
Tools & Toys
A collection of interactive tools and small experiments at the intersection of classics and code. Some are serious research instruments; others are just fun. All are freely available.
Prosopography
An interactive graph of Roman Republican elite networks — family ties, political alliances, amicitia, and more. Filter by relationship type, date, or gens.
In developmentCalendar
Convert any modern date to its Roman equivalent — Kalends, Nones, or Ides — with notes on the religious and political significance of the day.
Coming soonLanguage
Placeholder text generated from actual classical Latin prose — Cicero, Livy, Sallust — rather than the garbled standard version.
Coming soonMore tools in development. If you have a suggestion or want to collaborate, get in touch.
Public Engagement
Classics belongs to everyone. I am committed to making ancient history accessible beyond the academy — through public writing, talks, digital projects, and collaboration with schools and cultural institutions.
Essays and articles on Roman history, digital humanities, and classics for general audiences. Interested in contributing? Get in touch.
I am passionate about making classical education more accessible, particularly for students without access to Latin and Greek at school.
The interactive tools on this site are part of a broader commitment to open, public-facing scholarship. All tools are freely available.
Available for public lectures, podcast appearances, and panel discussions on Roman history, digital classics, and the contemporary relevance of antiquity.
