Faces of the IoA - Corinna Riva

Faces of the IoA - Corinna Riva

Fact 1: I work on Iron Age Mediterranean archaeology, especially the Central Mediterranean, and find thinking comparatively across the basin a lot of fun.
Fact 2: My second book, A Short History of the Etruscan, is out soon but it is not that short!
Fact 3: My latest research bugbear is aspects of urbanism such as citizenship.
Fact 4: I enjoy reading and writing poetry and the uses of language.
Fact 5: In another life, I would be a cinema critic.
