My research interests mainly lie in the social, cultural and economic history of the Early Roman Empire, with a special attention to the material sources, principally the epigraphical ones. I am particularly interested in the everyday life of Roman society, especially regarding people, like women, children and prostitutes, who lived at the borders of the society. I am also interested in the economic and cultural connections among people of different ethnicities around the Mediterranean and in the multicultural substrate which characterized some of the most important ancient maritime cities.
