Dr Lorena Pérez Yarza </span is adiunkt at the University of Warsaw, where she works on the ERC project STONE-MASTERS. She is affiliated with the HHR research group (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) and the Hiberus group (Universidad de Zaragoza). Her area of specialisation is the religious epigraphy of the western Roman Empire, with a particular focus on religious interaction among specific population groups and the processes of divine naming and expression. Her research explores the dynamics of cultural interaction and onomastic sequences in cross-cultural contexts, understanding how dedicators conceptualised the divine in epigraphic texts.
