For more than ten years, Philip has been teaching on various topics related to Greek and Roman history. He has published several articles in international journals. Currently, his research focuses on the political, social, and cultural history of the late Republic and Imperial Period. He received a scholarship from the German Research Foundation (Walter Benjamin Programme) to write his second book about Roman imperial succession with a particular focus on memory sanctions and how the expectation of such sanctions may have influenced the process of succession.
