Early Christianity, Jewish-Christian Relations, Roman History, Late Antiquity

Pompeii; Roman retail trade (shops and workshops); Roman architecture (late Republican and early Imperial); Ostia and Isola Sacra; Roman burial

I work chiefly on Late Antique intellectual history and the material culture of the later Roman Empire. My research focuses on the power of images and perceptions of piety and the body in Late Antique thought. I am primarily interested in manifestations of holiness in the bodies, portraits, and biographies of pagan and Christian holy men and women. I have recently developed an interest in the relationship between children and parents in Late Antiquity and the role of the family in Christian asceticism. Additional areas of interest include urban topography, the reception of classical texts (Homer especially) in the later Roman and Byzantine empires, and Greek folk culture.
