Responsibility

Aitor Blanco Pérez was responsible for Greek epigraphic and literary sources from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE.

Aitor Blanco Pérez completed a Classics degree at the University of Salamanca and gained his masters and doctorate from the University of Oxford. His thesis, supervised by Prof. Christina Kuhn and entitled “The 3rd Century A.D. in South-Western Asia Minor: Epigraphic Studies into Civic Life and Diplomatic Relations with Rome”, sought to reconsider the inscriptions produced by the settlements on the Anatolian peninsula – modern Turkey – from the death of the emperor Commodus (192 CE) to Diocletian's accession (284). During these doctoral studies, he conducted research stays at Princeton University, the Munich-DAI Kommission für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik and various Turkish institutions (Akdeniz, BIAA) as a Craven Scholar.
Between 2015 and 2016, Aitor was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Cologne under the sponsorship of Prof. W. Ameling and the Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung. In 2016–2017 he was a post-doctoral researcher in the ERC project Judaism & Rome. From 2017, he taught at the University of Navarra, was a visiting scholar at the University of St. Andrews, and in 2023 has taken a permanent position at the Department of Classical Philology and Indo-European of the University of Salamanca.
His research interests lie particularly in the area of Greek culture and the processes of interaction and communication existing between Rome and the local communities of the eastern Mediterranean.
