Profile

I was born in Oxford (UK) in 1974 and raised in Brussels, Belgium. I did my B.A. in Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology and a Masters degree in classical archaeology at Strasbourg in France, and my D.Phil in Classical Archaeology at Oxford.

 
Greek Vase Painting and the Origins of Visual Humour (2009) was published by Cambridge University Press, New York. My current research focuses on Classical Greek and Roman reception in political cartoons from the 18th to the 20th centuries published in British and American newspapers (for more details, see Research). I am an Honorary Associated Researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford. I also write fiction (novels and short-stories) and screenplays.
