Corinne Bonnet is a historian of the ancient world, particularly studying religions as cultural constructions embedded in time, space, and socio-political contexts. She pays particular attention to intercultural situations that, in the ancient Mediterranean – from Tyre to Carthage or Rome, and from Athens to Babylon or Alexandria – bring together cultic practices and representations of the divine, between tradition and creativity.
She also analysed the historiography of ancient religions, particularly the work and archives of Franz Cumont (1868-1947).
