Georgy Kantor is an Ancient History Fellow at St John's College, Oxford, where he teaches mostly Roman and Hellenistic history. He works on legal and institutional history (above all in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, but also in the comparative perspective), Roman epigraphy (both in Greek and in Latin), and on the regional history of Roman Asia Minor.

Georgy studied at the Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, and at Balliol College, Oxford, and worked at Wadham and New College (where he held an Esmée Fairbairn Junior Research Fellowship in Classics, and a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowship) before joining St John's in 2012. He is also Keeper of the College's pictures.
