Camille Blanco

Camille Blanco studies the art and architecture of the ancient Roman world, with a particular emphasis on the funerary culture of Imperial and Late Antique Rome, both in the provinces and in the Italian peninsula. Her research combines ancient literary, visual, and material culture to explore issues of viewership, identity, and cross-cultural interactions across the ancient Mediterranean world. 

 

Before coming to Yale, Camille earned an A.B in the History of Art and Architecture (with Honors) and an A.B. in Classics (with Honors), magna cum laude from Brown University. Her honors thesis in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture, “Nemausus, Arelate, Lugdunumque: Mapping Roman Provincial Identity through the Funerary Stelae of Gallia Narbonensis”, analyzed Gallo-Roman identity as expressed through funerary stelae depicting portraits of Gallo-Roman individuals from modern-day Nîmes, Arles, and Lyon, major cities in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis (southeastern France).
