Research 

My research concerns Late Roman and Christian epigraphy and Christian archaeology. I recently completed work on the edition of the first corpus of the signacula ex aere (bronze stamps or seals) of Sicily, which will be published in 2021 by De Gruyter; the work considers the theme of the use and reuse of these artifacts in Late Antiquity in funerary, productive and commercial contexts, as well as the potential benefits of using digital methodologies to study them. Currently I am among the authors in charge of the edition of the first volume of the Inscriptiones Christianae Italiae dedicated to the city of Syracuse (catacomb of San Giovanni). As a post-doctoral researcher on Crossreads, I am working on the digital edition of Greek and Latin inscriptions from the Roman, Late Antique and early Christian era in Sicily.
