S he previously taught at The Catholic University of America in the Departme nt of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures and at New York Unive rsity’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She was also an af filiate member of the European Research Council (ERC) project “The Qur ’an as a Source for Late Antiquity”\, and participated in archaeologic al projects in Iraqi Kurdistan\, Sicily\, Ethiopia\, and Jordan.Her doctor al dissertation at the University of Cambridge was published as a monograp h\, Pre-Islamic Arabia: Societies\, Politics\, Cults\, and Identities duri ng Late Antiquity (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Her work on the Red Sea\, Central Asia and Sicily in the ancient and medieval period has been featured in The Journal of Near Eastern Studies\, The Journal of Late Ant iquity\, Millennium\, The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern History and The Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures among others. She is currently edit ing Moving (Indian) Images in the First Millennium: papers from “Indian Ocean Figures that Sailed Away” an ISAW workshop series\, spring 2022(Br epols) and finishing her second monograph on a Red Sea pan-culture encompa ssing aesthetic and religious practices.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe emergence of I slam in South Arabia called for new communal gathering spaces. Instead of seeking fresh quarries\, the masons salvaged columns from the ruined Churc h of Abraha—a sixth-century cathedral constructed specifically to rival Mecca—and integrated them into the structure of what would later become the Great Mosque of Sana’a. Excavations at Beta Samati in Ethiopia confi rm a similar palimpsest two centuries earlier\, during the spread of Chris tianity in the Horn of Africa. There\, Christian basilicas adapted pagan p redecessors\, thereby re-adapting ancient carving techniques\, plans\, and motifs traceable to South Arabia. This presentation is structured in two parts. The first examines the historical context of late antique South Ara bia: early contacts with the Horn of Africa\, the emergence of a unified p olitical entity under Himyar\, the Aksumite conquest at the time of the so -called Massacre of Najran\, and\, eventually\, Caliphal rule. The second part turns to the region’s visual culture and religious architecture\, r anging from pagan temples and synagogues to churches and mosques. Drawing on my forthcoming monograph on cross-cultural interaction across the Red S ea\, I argue for the existence of a Red Sea pan-culture encompassing both aesthetic and religious practices\, demonstrating that the rise of Islam d id not abruptly terminate South Arabia’s ancient aesthetic traditions. I n the Great Mosque of Sana’a\, for instance\, the reuse of pre-Islamic s tructural and decorative elements and masonry techniques points to a desir e to amalgamate rather than erase the past. Moreover\, the plans of some e arly mosques bear a striking resemblance to ancient South Arabian pagan te mples\, such as the temple of Sirwah\, dedicated to Almaqah.
