Biography

Annetta Alexandridis studies the art and archaeology of ancient Greece and Rome, focusing particularly on gender studies, animal studies, and media archaeology. Her work includes a comprehensive examination of Roman Imperial families and the public roles of women in antiquity through various forms of imagery, such as statues and coins.
