Janico Albrecht

Janico Albrecht is a Researcher in the Department of Ancient History at the University of Bonn, a position he has held since April 2019. Previously, he worked at the University of Bonn (2014-2015) and the University of Erfurt (2015-2018) on the 'Lived Ancient Religion' project, and remains a member of the trinational college 'Masse und Integration in Antiken Gesellschaften' since 2014.

His academic credentials from the University of Bonn include:

• Bachelor's degree in History and Philosophy (2007-2011)
• Master's degree in History with focus on Ancient History (2011-2013)
• PhD in Ancient History (2014-2019)

Albrecht specializes in Roman religious history, examining military-religious interplay in the late Republic through Latin epigraphy. His work on History of the Jews in Antiquity and Roman Germania analyzes religious deviance, norm transgression, and political discourse—particularly regarding Cicero's treatment of the Gracchi murders and religious violence. He investigates how religious practices shaped social integration in ancient societies.

His publications reveal strong thematic continuity in Ancient History and Religious Studies, with emphasis on lived religion methodology and epigraphic evidence. Key contributions include the 'Lived Ancient Religion' framework and Bonn's earliest Roman inscription analysis, bridging military history, religious studies, and regional archaeology.

Albrecht actively contributes to the 'Lived Ancient Religion' project and trinational research network. His teaching covers Roman Republic crises, imperial court structures, women in antiquity, and specialized religion courses since 2014, reflecting his interdisciplinary research approach.
