His 2024 Collège de France lectures analyzed Hellenism's relationship with local cultures, particularly Greek-Coptic dynamics in Egypt. Agosti's publications reveal consistent focus on Late Antique aesthetic values, metrical innovation in Christian poetry, and reinterpretation of "imperfect" inscriptions as social identity markers rather than cultural decay indicators, demonstrating evolving scholarly trends toward democratized cultural paradigms.
