Monetary Economics

Constantina dedicated countless hours over the past 15 years into the study of money. Her PhD thesis was on the Monetary Economy of the Eastern Mediterranean: From Trajan to Gallienus, while she recently published a monograph on The Roman Monetary System. In this book as well as in several articles she explores the systemic nature of the monetary economy of the Roman empire and she compares it with other preindustrial economies that existed in the western world.

The Economy of Roman Asia Minor

In her first co-edited book, she explored the economy of Roman Asia Minor from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD. In addition, she is finishing a second co-authored numismatic monograph on The Roman Mint of Amorium and the Coin Finds. Amorium is a well known Roman-Byzantine city on the Anatolian plateau. Her work in Asia Minor is part of her interests in the expansion of Greek culture outside the narrow borders of modern Greece

Comparative Slavery

A few years ago she acquired an interest in ancient and modern slaves and, so, she co-edited two books on Comparative Diachronic Slavery. She specialises on comparisons between the Roman world and the American Antebellum South. As part of this project she is coorganising a conference on Sex and Slaves at the University of Nottingham in September 2012. She also teaches a third year module on the topic with the extensive use of social media (twitter, bloging etc)

Identities

 Currently she is co-editing a book on Identities. the idea behind this volume is to explore workable methodologies for the study of identities. These methodologies are illustrated through several case studies.

Sex and Politics

 She has just started a new and exciting project on Sex Scandals, Ancient and Modern.
