Research

Dr. Battiloro鈥檚 main research interests lie in the cultures of pre-Roman Italy (especially the Lucanians) and their interaction with the Greek and Roman world, with special focus on ritual practices and ethnic and cultural identity. She is also keenly interested in parallels between the colonization dynamics in the Greek and Roman worlds and the Canadian colonization process, with special attention paid to religion, cult and ritual practices, and sacred iconography.
