Dr. Anna Arpaia serves as Lecturer in Roman History at the University of Heidelberg since 2022, with concurrent Post-Doc Researcher appointments at the University of Warsaw (2022-2025) for the NCN Project "Temple of Justice" and the ongoing "Asyut-ancient centre of trade" project. Affiliated with the Department of History within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Tübingen, she maintains active research collaborations with Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Pavia.
Her research specializes in Roman Egypt's land property systems during the Early Imperial period and late antique legislation, with particular focus on the 6th-century "Littera Florentina" manuscript and unpublished archaeological materials from Asyut (ancient Lykopolis). Current projects include the edition of amphorae dipinti from Assiut and analysis of textile production in Byzantine-era Lykopolis.
Dr. Arpaia's scholarly output demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary engagement across papyrology, legal history, and material culture studies, with recent publications examining Senecan landholdings in Egypt, Byzantine textile terminology, and Roman notarial practices. Her work frequently integrates archaeological evidence with textual analysis to reconstruct economic and administrative systems.

Her laboratory work focuses on archaeological documentation from German-Polish excavations in Asyut, with emphasis on tituli picti and administrative records.
