The New History of Zosimus
Supervisors
Phil Booth, Neil McLynn
My research primarily focuses on the fifth century pagan historian Zosimus and his "New History". This project aims to explore Zosimus and his intellectual milieu at the turn of the century, especially in regards to the relationship between religions and state in an increasingly christianised empire.
I am also interested in examining late antiquity through a wider global and Eurasian perspective, and adopting comparative approaches towards the study of the western and eastern halves of the Eurasian continent between the period 300-700.
