Kristina Sessa studies the history of Late Antiquity, the period roughly spanning the decline of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of early medieval Christian Europe. Her work focuses on Rome and its Church, examining how war, crisis, and social upheaval shaped religious and civic communities. She also contributes to broader conversations about how the field of Late Antique studies itself is defined and practiced.
