She is the author of On Roman Time: The Codex-Calendar of 354 and the Rhythms of Urban Life in Late Antiquity (UC Press, 1990), The Making of a Christian Aristocracy (Harvard University Press, 2002), and The First Book of Symmachus’ Letters. Introduction and Commentary; Translation with Michael Roberts (Brill, forthcoming in 2011). She is currently working on a new book project that examines the city of Rome and its response to crisis from the third to seventh centuries. Her current research uses textual and material evidence to assess the roles that competing elites played in the transformation of the city and Italy.
