Cree knowledge, fuzzy cognitive maps, and the social-ecology of moose habitat quality under an adapted forestry regime
Participatory modeling and fuzzy cognitive mapping of social-ecological systems offers a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems inclusive of multiple perspectives and diverse types of knowledge. Many Indigenous communities attribute recent declines in boreal moose populations to forestry disturbance and are insisting that their observations, knowledge, and values contribute more meaningfully to forestry and moose co-management. Here …
Managing environmental knowledge networks to navigate complexity
Environmental knowledge networks (EKNs) link research collaborators in a common purpose to produce data and knowledge to better understand social-ecological phenomena and address environmental challenges. Over recent years, as scientists have grappled with how to produce data and actionable knowledge for conservation and sustainability, more EKNs have been established. Although each network is founded for its own purposes and maintains its own go…

Narrative and Space in Christian Chronography
If, from its beginnings, historical writing in the Graeco-Roman world was bound up with choices about which spaces to include, this was no less true of the Christian varieties of historiography that emerged in late antiquity. 1 Part of the challenge for Christian authors offering narratives of the intersections between the classical and the Christian pasts was deciding how to delineate the geographical spaces in which those histories took place. …
Late Antiquity and World History
The flourishing of late-antique studies in the last half-century has coincided with the rise of “world history” as an area of academic research. To an extent, some overlap has occurred, particularly with Sasanian Persia being considered alongside the late Roman Empire as constituting an essential component in what we think of in terms of the “shape” of late antiquity. Yet it is still the case that many approaches to late antiquity are bound up wi…
Emperors, Usurpers, and the City of Rome
When the historian Sextus Aurelius Victor came to write (circa 360–361) his brief account of the reign of the third-century emperor Philip, he noted with approval how that emperor, after settling affairs in the East, had visited Rome, overseen the construction of a new cistern in Trastevere, and celebrated in 248 the city’s millennium with “games of all kinds.” Mention of this provided Victor with an opportunity to lament, however, that a century…
The Sacred and the Secular
The impact of Christianity on secular life in Late Antiquity is often conceived in rather negative terms, as various characteristic features of classical Antiquity are regarded as coming to an end. Within this interpretative framework, most studies of the literature of Late Antiquity have focussed on the survival of ‘classical’ (or ‘pagan’ or ‘secular’ ) traditions and tropes in Christian writings. This paper examines the question from the opposi…
The Shapes and Shaping of the Late Antique World
This chapter contains sections titled: The Shape of the World: Eternal Rome and Its Rivals A Fragile Unity Unity and Diversity in the Roman Empire: Land, Economy, Culture, Power Grand Narratives and Regional Perspectives The Geopolitics of the Late Antique World Bibliographical Note
From Usurper to Emperor
Modern scholarship, following the template laid down by Lactantius and Eusebius, has viewed the achievements of Constantine chiefly through the prism of his Christianity, with the result that his secular achievements have been comparatively neglected. This article addresses those secular policies, focusing on how Constantine sought to assert his legitimacy during the various stages of his rise to power. It takes as its starting point the modern d…
Rufinus's Eusebius
Rufinus's Latin translation of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History is customarily regarded as an inferior creature to the Greek original. By examining Rufinus's complete translation and continuation together, however, a more sympathetic understanding of his Latin version can be reached. This shows that Rufinus's version was by no means a clumsy version of the Greek followed by a mediocre continuation, but was conceived of as a unified whole. Hence …
Reconstructing Historical Mercury Exposure From Beluga Whale Consumption Among Inuit in the Mackenzie Delta
Modern increases in mercury levels in Arctic marine mammals have important implications for people who consume these resources as part of a traditional diet. This paper establishes estimates of dietary exposure to mercury from the consumption of beluga whales for the historic (pre-Euroamerican contact) and modern Mackenzie Delta Inuit populations. For the historic populations, beluga intake was estimated from reconstructions of the pre-Euroameric…
The Roman Remains of Northern and Eastern France
This book provides a thorough, area by area companion to the region's wealth of monuments, excavations and artefacts, from Paris and Boulogne-sur-Mer to Strasbourg and Lyon. Over ninety sites are treated in detail, including major attractions such as the parc archeologique in Lyon and the amphitheatre at Autun, numerous local museums and secluded rural excavations. The guidebook combines a scholarly assessment of the area's Roman heritage, examin…
From Roman Provinces to Medieval Kingdoms

Making of a Christian Aristocracy
Why did the Roman Empire become Christian? This question has significant ramifications for the whole of western history. Michele Renee Salzman is not, of course, the first to seek to explain this seismic change, but her approach seeks to make good the shortcomings of earlier attempts
The Roman Countryside
The lexicon of abuse
INTRODUCTION In the anonymous, mid-fourth-century narrative known as the Origo Constantini imperatoris (The origin of the emperor Constantine), several apparently remarkable statements are made about the moral fibre – or, more precisely, the lack of it – of the enemies of the emperor Constantine. Prominent among these villains are Galerius, Augustus of the eastern empire (305–11), and his short-lived associate as western emperor, Severus (Caesar,…

The Cambridge Ancient History
With Volume 14 The Cambridge Ancient History concludes its story. This latest volume embraces the wide range of approaches and scholarship which have in recent decades transformed our view of Late Antiquity. In particular, traditional political and social history has been enormously enhanced by integrating the rich evidence of Christian writing, and the constantly expanding results of archaeological research. A picture emerges of a period of cons…

International relations
The subjugation of barbarian envoys in front of Theodosius I, as depicted in the Constantnople's obelisk in 390, soon turned out to be hollow. The same barbarians later became embroiled in a series of conflicts that would seriously undermine the stability of the empire and eventually produce a very different balance of power between the empire and its neighbours. This chapter traces this changing balance of power in late antiquity and its ramific…
