‎Epirus under the Romans. Economic Dynamics and the Countryside‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Paperback, Pages: 430, Size:170 x 240 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9789603711131.‎

‎Summary The edited volume Epirus under the Romans: Economic Dynamics and the Countryside reassesses Epirus, a region long dismissed as peripheral within the Greco-Roman world. Moving beyond narratives of decline after 167 BC, the volume draws on archaeological and historical evidence to explore how the region was transformed, adapted and integrated into Roman economic structures. The chapters investigate themes including the development of settlements and fortified centres before the Roman conquest, and the subsequent restructuring of rural territories through land division and the exploitation of agricultural and pastoral resources. They also examine the emergence of villae rusticae and large agricultural estates, and the foundation of Nicopolis as a dominant urban and economic hub. Case studies address trade and monetary circulation, shifting patterns of rural investment, and, in some areas, the resilience of inland and coastal economies. Further contributions draw on material culture, including mosaics, and on epigraphic evidence, while also developing spatial approaches to rural connectivity and widening the perspective through comparative discussion beyond the region. Taken together, the volume demonstrates that Epirus was defined not by marginality within the Roman world, but by the interaction of its people and landscape, where pastoral and agricultural traditions were reconfigured within the wider economic systems of the Roman Mediterranean.

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, vi + 322 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581576.‎

‎Summary The six-volume sub-series Historiography and Identity unites a wide variety of case studies from Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, from the Latin West to the emerging polities in Northern and Eastern Europe, and also incorporates a Eurasian perspective which includes the Islamic World and China. The series aims to develop a critical methodology that harnesses the potential of identity studies to enhance our understanding of the construction and impact of historiography. This first volume in the Historiography and Identity sub-series examines the many ways in which historiographical works shaped identities in ancient and medieval societies by focusing on the historians of ancient Greece and the late Roman Empire. It presents in-depth studies about how history writing could create a sense of community, thereby shedding light on the links between authorial strategies, processes of identification, and cultural memory. The contributions explore the importance of regional, ethnic, cultural, and imperial identities to the process of history writing, embedding the works in the changing political landscape.
