Personal Statement:
My dissertation focuses on the historical geography of Caesarea Maritima and Eusebius of Caesarea’s manipulation of geography in his description of Christian and Roman networks. By mapping and analyzing portions of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History, I trace and compare pan-Mediterranean networks in order to show Eusebius’ particular, and at some times peculiar, interest in Eastern Mediterranean perspectives.
