Autorenporträt

Anne Bielman Sánchez has been Professor of Ancient History at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, since 2005. Her research focuses on social problematics, especially on female public activities in the Greek Hellenistic world and in the Republican Roman world: queens, priestesses, female magistrates, and benefactors. Works include Inventer le pouvoir féminin: Cléopâtre I et Cléopâtre II, reines d'Egypte au IIe s. av. J.-C. (2015, co-authored with Giuseppina Lenzo) and Femmes influentes dans le monde hellénistique et à Rome (2016, co-edited with Isabelle Cogitore and Anne Kolb). From 2016 to 2019, she is leading a project funded by the Swiss National Fund for Scientific Research (FNS) that explores the phenomena of "couples" in Greco-Roman antiquity.
