The aim of my research is to investigate the development of Rome as the city was Christianised between the 4th and 8th centuries. Concretely, I analyse the evidence of Christian use and adaptation of the Forum Romanum and the Imperial fora of Rome as evidenced in the written, archaeological, and epigraphical sources. My project The Fora of Rome and their Christian Graffiti is a collaboration between the University of Bergen, The University of Aarhus, and the Norwegian Institute in Rome. It is funded by the Research Council of Norway.
