His work was already both large and important: the exemplary edition of the Callatian corpus (ISM III: Inscriptions grecques et latines de Scythie Mineure, III. Callatis et son territoire, Bucharest-Paris 1999) and the recent supplement of Tomitan inscriptions (ISM VI.2: Inscriptions grecques et latines de Scythie Mineure, vol. VI. Suppléments, fasc. 2: Tomis et son territoire, Bucharest-Paris 2018, with M. Bărbulescu and L. Buzoianu); the treaty between Rome and Callatis (Der Vertrag zwischen Rom und Kallatis. Ein Beitrag zum römischen Völkerrecht, Amsterdam 1999 [Schwarzmeer-Studien7]); the Thasian amphora stamps found at Istros (Histria VIII. Les timbres amphoriques.
