After a temporary job at the Ministry for Culture (until 1981), he began teaching Ancient Numismatics at the University of Toulouse in 1982. From 1982 to 1985, he worked at the “Centre numismatique E.

Between 1989 and 2010, he worked at the “Centre de recherches historiques” in Paris. In 1992, he qualified as a professor at the University of Besançon, before obtaining another licence to teach at universities in 1993. From 1994 to 1997, he taught at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales as Adjunct Professor. Between 1998 and 1999, he taught, as a lecturer, in Paris.

Concurrently with this, he started working in the publishing sector: between 1994 and 2000, he supervised the series “Collections numismatiques” of the publishing company Errance-Actes Sud. In 1995, he founded the Moneta series (Wetteren) over which he presides down to the present day.

Since 2010, he is a member of the research unit “Archaeology and Philology of East and West” at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Furthermore, he contributed significantly to several research projects:
Between 2000 and 2008, he was chair of a research group dealing with Armenian history – “Monnaies, réseaux, politiques” (Money, networks, politics); from 2004 to 2006, he was responsible for the French-Romanian research program PICS (Programme International de Coopération Scientifique) on money, economy and history. Between 2007 and 2010, he presided over the GDRE (Groupement de Recherche Européen / European Research Network) “Trouvailles monétaires” on coin hoards, a collaboration of French, Polish, Romanian, Moldavian, and Slovenian research institutions. On behalf of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was responsible for the ECO-NET program in Romania and Georgia in 2009 and 2010, focusing on coins and the defense of the Roman and Byzantine frontiers.

From 2012 to 2015, he served as head of the research program DAMIN (La Dépréciation de l‘Argent Monétaire et les relations Internationales – Silver monetary depreciation and international relations), and in 2015 he was research fellow at the Institut Louis Bachelier.

In 2018-2019, he was invited professor at Osaka University and since 2018 IAFOR senior fellow.
