Dr. Anna Arpaia

My research has been focused so far on Roman Egypt (land property in Early Imperial period) and late antique legislation. My current project concerns the 6^th century manuscript so called “Littera Florentina” (Digest) and material clues to the layout of its model manuscript and the first stage of the editorial and transmission process. I have been working on unpublished material (papyri and tituli picti) from the German-Polish archeological campaigns in Asyut (ancient Lykopolis).
