Her publications focus on Roman gladiators and gladiatorial culture in the Greek East, Roman sculpture, and Republican architecture. Her current project, titled From Fornix to Arcus: Architecture, Politics, and Public Space in Republican and Early Imperial Rome, analyzes the political, symbolic, and urban significance of the earliest freestanding (so-called triumphal) arches.
