After completing a BSc in Neuroscience at Bishop's University Briar received an MA in Classics & Archaeology from Queen's University, where her research focused on the imperial use of early Christian graphic symbols in Roman Britain. During her doctoral program in History at 成人VR视频 she will concentrate on her interests in ancient Mediterranean religion with a focus on early Christianity. Briar's doctoral research intends to compare the inter-community relationships between pagans and Christians in the context of pre and post-Roman Britain, examining their development as the island transitions out of imperial Roman rule into pre-Medieval England.
