Contact Details:
Felix studied ancient history and classics at undergraduate level at the Universität Potsdam where he took a special interest in Latin inscriptions as a historical source. To pursue this interest further he undertook an internship and later a working placement at the CIL Berlin. Afterwards, Felix studied ancient history at postgraduate level at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, while working at the ancient history department in Potsdam as a research and training assistant. He interrupted his postgraduate studies in Berlin to travel around South-East Asia for half a year during which time he decided to shift the focus of his academic development. After returning from Asia, Felix commenced a M.A. in Roman Archaeology at the University of Exeter. Since September 2021, Felix has been working on his own SWW-DTP2 funded PhD project “Conquest by Cattle”, a cross-disciplinary research project around Roman cattle breeds in southern England with an emphasis on geometric morphometrics, isotope analyses, and Roman agricultural writers. He informs the DNFTA project on ancient literary sources about animal feeding and everything cattle related.
