  • The Rhetoric of Power in Late Antiquity Religion and Politics in Byzantium, Europe and the Early Islamic World
    Elizabeth DePalma Digeser / Justin Stephens / Robert M. Frakes
    Late Antiquity, the period of transition from the crisis of Roman Empire in the third century to the Middle Ages, has traditionally been considered only in terms of the ’decline’ from classical standards.

  • Perpetual Motion
    Michael Sheringham

    Stephanie Trigg / Thomas A. Prendergast / Thomas APrendergast
