I am a PhD student since October 2021. I have completed bachelor’s studies in Information Brokering, Document Management and Archival Studies (IHiA UP 2018) and history (IHiA UP 2019). Also, I have completed master studies in history (IHiA UP 2021). My master’s thesis was focused on issues related to the upbringing of a Roman aristocrat in the 5th century. It was based on the epistolography of the Gallic aristocrat, poet and bishop – Sidonius Apollinaris.

My doctoral thesis focuses on late antiqua women in the family and social field (4th-6h centuries). Basing on various sources, I am going to present the differences between women from traditional (pagan) and christian backgrounds and indicate to how law and mores implied the position of women in society. In addition, during my research, I would like to check what extent the role of women can be exposed in the communities of barbarian tribes settling in the territories of the empire.
