Her administrative roles include Deputy Director of the UFR of History at Paris 1 since 2016 and elected membership on institutional governing bodies.

Her educational background includes studies at ENS Ulm (2001-2006), a graduate degree from the Paris Institute of Political Studies (2004), and a doctorate in History from Paris 1 (2010). Her research explores the intersection of military, economic, and ideological factors in the Roman Republic's transition to the Principate, using diverse sources like coins, inscriptions, and religious practices.

Raphaëlle's publications examine themes such as soldier loyalty, monetary unification during civil wars, land distribution to veterans, and the role of charisma in political structures. Her work bridges historical analysis with sociological theories, particularly in legitimizing power through public rituals and discourse. She collaborates on projects analyzing patrimonial sanctions, war justice, and numismatic propaganda.
