As a cultural historian his work focuses primarily on the Greco-Roman world and he has written both on cultural interaction in the Hellenistic Near-East and on Greek literature and culture under the Roman Empire. He is particularly interested in the intersection between literature and the history of the body, historiography and cultural theory, and the reception of the classical body in the modern world.
