Julia Granted Fellowship at the British School at Rome

In recent days, Julia has been awarded a Fellowship by the British School at Rome, in partnership with the journal Early Medieval Europe. This Fellowship is intended for early career researchers working on early medieval European history, and aims to facilitate access to manuscripts, libraries, material culture, and other resources in Rome.

This will mark Julia’s second stay at the British School at Rome, following her participation in the Roman Epigraphy Summer School in 2021. She is currently preparing a doctoral dissertation devoted to the monumentalisation of Christian places of worship in Rome between the fourth and sixth centuries, with a particular focus on the reception of Damasan poetry in later decades. Since “one can never have too much of Rome,” this Fellowship promises to be a valuable experience in the final months of her PhD research.
