I received my B.A. (2019) and my M.A. (2021) in History from the University of Frankfurt/Germany, where im currently pursuing a PhD in Ancient History. In my PhD thesis I try retracing the development of statehood in the archaic greek poleis of Sicily along the processes of inclusion into the polis and exclusion from the polis.
