Birley and Bruno Bleckmann and art history with Hans Körner at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf . He completed this course in 2005 with his master 's thesis Hadrian's Visit to Egypt 130/131, taking numismatic sources into account .

In addition to articles on various topics in numismatic journals, Pudill published several monographs on ancient numismatics. The focus of his work is on the Roman coins issued under Hadrian after the death of his favorite and presumed lover Antinous in 130. He pays particular attention to the cultural and religious-historical statements of the representations and their role in the cultic veneration of Antinous initiated by Hadrian.
