Dr Thea Ravasi
I am a Classical Archaeologist specialising in Roman architecture, urbanism, and trade and Visiting Researcher at Newcastle University, UK. I specialise in large-scale, interdisciplinary, and digitally innovative projects that connect cutting-edge research with public engagement.My research advances understanding of imperial architecture by nuancing the divide between early and late antiquity, and between Roman traditional and early Christian building practices. My work develops along three interconnected strands: the nature and function of thermal and baptismal architecture in the West; the economy of imperial construction and procurement; and the design and spatial organisation of imperial court spaces. I am also interested in the physical and visual expressions of power, reinterpreting imperial collecting and display as manifestations of authority—most recently in relation to the Christianisation of the court and the display of sculpture and relics in Rome, Tivoli, and Constantinople.Contact: thea.ravasi@ncl.ac.ukOrcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9244-495X Academia: https://newcastle.academia.edu/TheaRavasi
