Romina Della CasaRomina Della Casa is a Historian of the Ancient Near East with a research focus on Hittite Anatolia. She holds degrees in History Teaching, in History Research (Licenciatura) from the Catholic University of Argentina (UCA), and a Ph.D. in History of he Ancient Near East and Hittitology from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).

Presently, Romina is a postdoctoral fellow at The Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University (2019-2021), and works on Human-Non-Human Encounters in Hittite Anatolia, which focuses on the variety of ways non-human animals inspired behavior and thought in ancient Anatolia.
