Areas of Interest:

Professor Marzano's research interests rest in the sphere of Roman social and economic history. Recent and current areas of investigation are:

• Roman Villas: Her research has explored the ideology of the villa and its production as depicted in the texts of Latin authors; the varied nature of capital investments; and how the social function of villas changed throughout the centuries.
• Imperial Propaganda: She is interested in images, techniques, and media used in the dissemination of imperial messages and has shown the occurrence of audience targeting in the choice of coin types in the imperial period.
• Marine Resources, large-scale fishing, and aquaculture: Professor Marzano is an expert on Roman marine aquaculture and large-scale fishing and her research has brought attention to the importance the exploitation of marine resources had in the ancient economy.
