She has also made significant contributions to Vergil studies, particularly regarding the Golden Age concept in the Aeneid and medieval Christian interpretations of the Eclogues. Her publication record reveals a consistent scholarly trajectory exploring the intersection of philosophy, religion, and literature in antiquity, with particular attention to Euhemerism, Varro's theological works, and the reception of classical texts in medieval contexts. Recent publications demonstrate continued engagement with Lactantius, Prodicus, and Greek inscriptions, showing both depth in her core research areas and breadth across classical scholarship.
