 **Dr. Fabio Porzia** is Researcher at the Institute of Heritage Science of the National Research Council of Italy (ISPC-CNR). Here, adopting an approach that combines material culture, iconography, and texts, he is the Principal Investigator of the project TRIBAL, “Trespassing Religions, Identities and Borders in the Ancient Levant” (2023-2024). Holding an MA in Biblical Sciences from the Pontifical Biblical Institute of Rome and a PhD in Ancient History from the University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès, he is a philologist and an historian of religion(s) in particular of the Late Bronze and Persian Period Levant. Besides the historical-critic exegesis of the Hebrew Bible and the archaeology and epigraphy of the kingdoms of Israel and Juda, he focuses on the religious and ethnic dynamics on a regional scale, including the Phoenician, Aramaic, Philistine, and Transjordanian worlds. He was a postdoctoral fellow within the Sinergia Project (funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation) “Stamp Seals from the Southern Levant: A Multi- faceted Prism for Studying Entangled Histories in an Interdisciplinary Perspective” (University of Zurich), and within the ERC Advanced Grant Project “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency” (University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès). His latest book is *Le peuple aux trois noms : Une histoire de l’ancien Israël à travers le prisme de ses ethnonymes* (OBO 298; Leuven, 2022).
