Professor Bubelis' work aims to elucidate not only the specific histories of certain communities and institutions in ancient Greece but also the dynamic intersection between economics, religion, and state that drove broader developments across the ancient Mediterranean world, c. 750-250. He is the curator of the Wulfing Coin Collection.
Professor Bubelis' research interests include Greek history and epigraphy (especially Athens and the Peloponnese, and Northern Greece); economic history and numismatics (particularly taxation and fiscal behavior, banking, numeracy); ancient religion and its institutional dimensions, especially as they intersect with economics; Attic oratory and historiography; and the political economy of the ancient Near East (especially Iron Age Mesopotamia, Cyprus, and the Achaemenid Empire).
