In my book on Roman Berytus I attempt to address the role of the governors in their relations with the province of Phoenicia, the imperial capital of Constantinople, the provincial capital of Tyre, and the city of Berytus, renowned for legal studies. In his new translation of the letters of Libanius, Scott Bradbury has presented English translations of letters between Libanius and the governors of Phoenicia and other provinces. These translations augment those produced previously by A.F. Norman in several volumes of speeches, essays, and letters.

Archaeology and History In Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval Greece: Studies on Method and Meaning In Honor of Timothy E. Gregory

Gregory to our understanding of Greece from the Roman period to modern times. Evoking Gregory's diverse interests, the volume brings together anthropologists, art historians, archaeologists, historians, and philologists to address such contested topics as the end of Antiquity, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, the contours of the emerging Byzantine civilization, and identity in post-Medieval Greece. These papers demonstrate the continued vitality of both traditional and innovative approaches to the study of material culture and emphasise that historical interpretation should be the product of methodological self-awareness. In particular, this volume shows how the study of the material culture of post-Classical Greece over the last 30 years has made significant contributions to both the larger archaeological and historical discourse.
