Resumen

• The present volume presents some of the latest research trends in the study of Late Antiquity in the Eastern Roman Empire from a multi-disciplinary perspective, encompassing not only social, economic and political history, but also philology, philosophy and legal history. The volume focuses on the interaction between the periphery and the core of the Eastern Empire and the relations between Eastern Romans and Barbarians in different geographical areas, during the approximate millennium that elapsed between the Fall of Rome and the Fall of Constantinople, with special attention paid to the earlier period. By introducing the reader to some innovative and ground-breaking new theories, the contributors to the present volume, an attractive combination of leading scholars in their respective fields and young researchers with innovative ideas, offer a fresh and thought-provoking examination of Byzantium during Late Antiquity and beyond.
