Figurative language and narrative writing: Insights from high-achieving primary school students
Figurative language is a prominent feature of contemporary primary/elementary English curricula globally, yet little is known about how students at different stages of primary school use figurative language in the context of narrative writing. This study presents a detailed analysis of the frequencies and uses of figurative devices in narratives written by ten Australian Year 3 and Year 5 students who scored highly on Australia’s standardised wri…
Structure and Theme in Appian Civil Wars 4
Analyses of Appian’s Civil Wars 4 have tended to focus on source criticism, usually to assert the author’s dependence on his sources for the content, structure, and historical views in his work. This paper examines the structure of Civil Wars 4 and the author’s narrative choices throughout the book to better understand how Appian used his source material to depict in highly ambivalent terms both the triumvirs and the liberators. This analysis dem…

Interpreting International Mindedness in Dutch State-funded International Schools: An educational leadership perspective
This article focuses on the challenges faced by educational leaders of international schools in conceptualising international mindedness. Further articles are planned which will focus on how the wider social and school context influence educational leaders’ promotion of international mindedness, and on why educational leaders are drawn to values-leadership models in its promotion. The use of the term international mindedness has grown significant…
Rethinking Appropriateness of Actions in Environmental Decisions: Connecting Interest and Identity Negotiation with Plural Valuation
Issues of interest, identity and values intertwine in environmental conflicts, creating challenges that cannot generally be overcome using rationalities grounded in generalised argumentation and abstraction. To address the growing need to engage interests and identities along with plural values in the conservation of biodiversity and ecological systems, we introduce the concept of ‘appropriateness of actions’ and ground it in a relational underst…
Cassius Dio and the Roman Monarchy
Cassius Dio and the Age of Iron and Rust
Brill’s Companion to Cassius Dio
This Companion is the first of its kind on the Roman historian Cassius Dio. It introduces the reader to the life and work of one of the most fundamental but previously neglected historians in the Roman historical canon. Together the eighteen chapters focus on Cassius Dio's background as Graeco-Roman intellectual from Bithynia who worked his way up the political hierarchy in Rome and analyses his Roman History as the product of a politically engag…
Herodian and Severan Historiography
This paper examines the historiographic controversies and disagreements surrounding the figure of Septimius Severus and highlighted by Herodian in his Roman History as a means of investigating the development of history writing during and in the aftermath of that emperor's reign. Herodian cites Severus' transition to power and reign as a locus for historical and historiographical controversy and debate, and a comparison of Herodian with other Sev…
An Age of Iron and Rust: Cassius Dio and the History of His Time
Cassius Dio described his own age as one of “iron and rust.” This study, which is the first of its kind in English, examines the decline and decay that Cassius Dio diagnosed in this period (180-229 CE) through an analysis of the author’s historiographic method and narrative construction. It shows that the final books were a crucial part of Dio’s work, and it explains how Dio approached a period that he considered unworthy of history in view of hi…
What’s in Your Culture? Embracing Stability and the New Digital Age in Moving Colleges of Health Professions Virtually during the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Experiential Narrative Review
As traditional education transitioned from face-to-face interactions to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty and staff in dental hygiene, nursing, and exercise science programs placed students at the center of every educational decision and promoted stability in learning with their commitments to excellence in teaching and the delivery of content using educational and communication technology. This experiential narrative review …
The End of the ‘Special Relationship’? The Heath-Nixon Years in Perspective
The Heath-Nixon years, 1970–1974, have been widely characterised as marking a low point in Anglo-American relations, even the end of the so-called ‘special relationship’. Overall, historians and commentators have tended to point the finger at Edward Heath, the British prime minister. As a committed Europhile, Heath is said to have deliberately downgraded relations with Washington in pursuit of membership of the European Economic Community [EEC], …
Bridging disciplinary knowledge: The challenge of integrating EAP in business education
Cassius Dio: Between War and Civil War
This volume focuses on Cassius Dio’s approaches to foreign war and stasis (as in violence) as well as civil war (= stasis, emphylios polemos). The chapters as a whole have – or so it has turned out –turned this into a slightly imbalanced book in as much as there are rather many civil war articles and few foreign war/expansion articles (with some of the foreign war articles focusing partly on civil wars). There may be many reasons for this. An ans…
Civil War and Governmental Change: From the Achievements of Augustus to the Failures of the Severans
Debt and Entanglements Between the Wars
The seven chapters in this volume tell stories about correlated macroeconomic and political events that occurred in six countries and four Dominions of the British Commonwealth between 1914 and 1940. By a story, I mean a collection of observations ordered in time together with causal interpretations that come from projecting the observations onto a theory. Correlations among our stories arise partly from the international aspects of the events be…
Book 79(78): Macrinus
This chapter provides an overview of book 79(78) of Dio’s history, including chronology and Dio’s use of source material. It then gives commentary on important aspects of Dio’s narrative. Within a chronological framework, Dio employs three major themes: Caracalla’s, Macrinus’ rise and fall, and Elagabalus’ rise. Dio moves from a focus on the East to the events in Rome, with a return to action in the East. He closely ties together Caracalla’s Part…
Book 80(80): Severus Alexander
This book provides a brief introduction to the beginning of the reign of Severus Alexander and commentary on this final small portion of Dio’s history. Although several sources, including the Historia Augusta , call Severus Alexander’s reign a return to a golden age, Dio saw it as the completion of an age of “iron and rust.” Dio’s narrative of Severus Alexander’s reign is slight, and more of Dio’s place in posterity emerges than ever before, in h…
Book 80(79): Elagabalus
This chapter first surveys the reign of Elagabalus, especially his rise to power, his religion, and his presentation by Dio. It then provides commentary on Dio’s narrative of his reign. Dio approaches his subject less chronologically than thematically, to create an image of the emperor on the basis of his Syrian background, effeminacy, and cruelty. The focus on Elagabalus’ vices, his foreignness and his worship of a foreign sun god, his many marr…
Emperors and Usurpers: An Historical Commentary on Cassius Dio's Roman History
This historical commentary examines books 79(78)–80(80) of Cassius Dio’s Roman History , which cover the period from the death of Caracalla in 217 B.C. to the reign of Severus Alexander and Cassius Dio’s retirement from political life in A.D. 229 Cassius Dio, a Roman senator, provides a valuable eyewitness account of this turbulent period, which was marked by the assassination of Caracalla; the rise of Macrinus, Rome’s first equestrian emperor, a…
Crime prevention and prisoner rehabilitation in Australia: Lessons from Nordic nations
This article considers Australia’s past interest in Nordic nations’ achievements in preventing crime and in rehabilitating persons convicted of crimes. Current crises in Australian prisons, particularly as analysed recently by the Victorian Ombudsman, are then considered. Lessons from Sweden and Norway, in particular, are identified which might practically help now to tackle those problems
Cassius Dio on Septimius Severus’ decennalia and ludi saeculares
The epitome of Cassius Dio’s book 77[76] contains a description of various celebrations that took place in 202–4 CE. The lack of clarity in this passage has led scholars to attribute certain spectacles to the wrong celebrations and to posit various hypotheses about the nature of the epitome of this section of Dio’s history. This paper suggests that Dio intentionally conflated the celebrations of these years into one passage, which functions as pa…

Evaluation of the obstetric significance of some pelvic characters in an 18th century british sample of known parity status
The excavations at Christ Church, Spitalfields (1984–86) produced a sample of 968 human skeletons which were interred between 1729 and 1859. Of these, 387 were recovered in association with coffin plates stating name, age at death, and date of death. There are 138 adult females in the named sample and the obstetric histories of 94 have been reconstructed from historical documentation. Such variables as birth spacing, number of children, and age a…
Conspiracy as Plot Type in Herodian’s Roman History
Despite positioning himself as a contemporary eyewitness and heir to Thucydides, Herodian has generally been judged to be a poor historian prone to the use of compression, formulaic scenes, and even free invention. This paper examines Herodian’s application of a specific plot type to conspiracies against the emperor by praetorian prefects. The use of this plot type reveals something of Herodian’s understanding of history and historical methodolog…
Cassius Dio, Caracalla, and the Senate
Recently, efforts have been made to characterize Cassius Dio’s history of the reign of Caracalla as reflective of the experiences of a marginalized senator, rather than of the senate as a whole. A re-evaluation of Dio’s account suggests that Dio’s version of events should remain the most valuable literary source for this period. Dio maintained a consistent view of the principate throughout his contemporary history, and his depiction of Caracalla …

Devolution, change and European union policy‐making in the UK
This paper explores the extent to which European Union policy-making in the UK has changed as a result of devolution. The paper draws on material concerning economic development and the structural funds, agriculture and rural development, and environmental policy. The extent to which there has been a change in the outcomes (content and impact) of policy is examined. Evidence from Scotland, Wales, the English regions and UK central government reve…
Asymmetries in the Cyclical Behaviour of UK Labour Markets
This paper examines the connection between the business cycle, non-linearities and asymmetries in the UK labour market. The economy is shown to display cyclical asymmetries; stochastic properties of variables such as employment, unemployment, real wages and the unemployment-vacancy ratio crucially depend upon the state of the business cycle. We show that in most cases conditioning on the state of the cycle removes residual non-linearities and is …

Fiscal Insurance and Debt Management in OECD Economies
Assuming the role of debt management is to provide hedging against fiscal shocks we consider three questions: i) what indicators can be used to assess the performance of debt management? ii) how well have historical debt management policies performed? and iii) how is that performance affected by variations in debt issuance? We consider these questions using OECD data on the market value of government debt between 1970 and 2000. Motivated by both …

Cassius Dio's Julia Domna: Character Development and Narrative Function
This paper examines how and why Cassius Dio portrayed Julia Domna in the manner that he did. Dio consistently depicts Julia as foreign and power-hungry, a portrait that appears to be driven by his analysis of the later Severan regime. Julia serves as a link between the two halves of the dynasty, a claim that runs counter to the official line of Elagabalus and Severus Alexander. The later Severan house, seen by Dio as foreign and dominated by powe…
The Impact of Debt Levels and Debt Maturity on Inflation
We examine the implications for optimal inflation of changes in the level and maturity of government debt under the assumption where fiscal and monetary policies co-ordinate, and in the case of an independent central bank following a Taylor rule. Under co-ordination, inflation persistence and volatility depend on the sign, size and maturity of debt. Higher debt leads to higher inflation and longer maturity leads to more persistent inflation altho…
A Monstrous and Unjustifiable Infringement’: Political Expression and the Broadcasting Ban on Advocacy Advertising
This paper considers the legality of the broadcasting prohibition on ‘advocacy advertising’– the use of advertising space to communicate social, political and moral arguments to a wider public – in the light of the growing jurisprudence on the freedom of political expression. The prohibition is currently found in the Broadcasting Act 1990, and the Government has proposed its reiteration in the forthcoming Communications Bill to fall within the re…
Devolution and EU Policy Making: The Territorial Challenge
This paper seeks to document the impact of structural and organisational change brought about through devolution on the UK's handling of European policy, and thereby to illustrate the nature of the new multi-level governance in the devolving UK. In the context of arrangements prior to devolution, we examine distinctive features of the new constitutional and structural framework of EU policy-making; the guidelines and conventions for the multi-lev…

The global system and the implications of interactions
The author points out that increased interaction between nations is characterized as inherently beneficial; little or no attention has been paid to the costs of interaction. The exponential growth of interaction between nations has vastly exceeded man's capacity to govern the international system. Using a cybernatic model, Scott describes the exponential growth in interaction as the positive feedback loop in the global system which generates an i…

Scotland and European Monetary Union: An Introduction
Sooner or later the Scottish public is likely to be confronted with a referendum on membership of European monetary union. 1 Leaving aside explicit political preferences such as individual views about the desirability or otherwise of 'more' rather than 'less' European integration the debate will, inevitably, revolve around largely economic issues. The purpose of this paper is to set the scene by reviewing the most important economic issues raised…
Scotland and European Monetary Union: Constraints on Policy Discretion in a Globalised Economy
In this paper we consider the implications of membership within a monetary union for local economic policies. We start from the position that specific economic policy instruments increasingly are unavailable to policy-makers as a consequence of a process of 'globalisation*. Here we define globalisation as the tendency for national economies to become increasingly integrated through the dismantling of the barriers to the movement of goods, service…

Cain and Abel? Trade and Competition Laws in the Global Economy
Since the mid-twentieth century, international accords, political upheavals and the rise of the trans-national corporation have fomented a truly global business environment. Given this shift, it was predictable that corporate malpractice familiar at the domestic level would prove equally prevalent on the international plane. International collusion has resulted in the division of geographic markets, the collective management of output levels, and…

Looking to Sweden in order to Reconstruct Australia
The most prominent interest in the ‘Swedish model’ in Australian political history came after a high-level union delegation visit in 1986 produced a major report titled Australia Reconstructed, which had the nominal endorsement of the Labor Government then in office. However, at this very time, the characteristics of the Swedish policy approach which were most admired by the visiting Australian unionists were undergoing important changes, to whic…
