Petros Tsagklis

Petros Tsagklis was born at Athens in 1994. He took his undergraduate degree from the Department of History & Archaeology of the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens and currently he is completing his Master's Degree in History & Archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean World at the University of Crete. Due to his roots from Laconia, his main academic interest focuses on the history of Sparta & Laconia, especially from the late Archaic to the Late Roman period (but he is also interested in more recent subjects such as the Maniot piracy of the 17th-19th century A.D., the socioeconomic organization and agricultural production in the Monemvasia area during the Venetian and Ottoman periods etc.). On this subject he has authored two historical monographs, "Asopos" and "Between Mani and Tsakonia", that were published from Herodotus and Graphi editions in 2015 and 2024 respectively. He has also written articles for online and printed magazines such as Post Augustum, Athens Finest, Monemvasia etc. and on November 7, 2024, he gave a talk under the title "Greeks and Turks in the kaza of Monemvasia: Ethnic Identities, Religion and their Social Aspects during the Second Ottoman Rule of the Peloponnese (1715-1821)" for the University of Nottingham's Sparta Live! Webinar Series (2024/25).
