Miguel Sanchez Morquecho

I am a graduate student in the History Department studying the history of ancient Greece and the greater Western Mediterranean. My primary interests lie the development of Greek ethnic identities through contact and exchange with other ancient cultures. Currently, I am researching this topic as it pertains to the Greek colonies of Sicily and Magna Graecia and to their interactions with the western Phoenicians and the native populations of those regions from the eighth century BCE to the crystallization of Roman conquest in 146 BCE.
