She is currently working on another book, Children without Fathers in Roman Imperial Law and Society, on children without a legally recognized father in Roman antiquity. Really crazy that she didn't have a #Wikipedia page until now #WCCWiki

Fragments of relief with dancers, mid-2nd century BC – second half of 1st century BC. From the Archaeological Museum, Split. Two fragments of a relief depicting eight dancers in a row in different poses, possibly a depiction of the Emmeleia that was performed during tragedies in ancient Greek theater. The figures in the relief are likely Nymphs, a lower order of mythical being. The relief may have been part of the architectural ornamentation of a cult structure or mausoleum. Why the heads and hands of the dancers are missing is unclear, as is the purpose of the slots between their hands.
