The Persians in Asia Minor and the End of Antiquity
The provinces of Asia Minor flourished for two centuries after the establishment of the Augustan peace, and came to rank among the richest and most populous of the empire. The Persian and Arab invasions in the seventh century then brought an end to the prosperity of late antique Asia Minor and introduced an obscure period which lasted until the middle of the ninth century. In 613, the Byzantines suffered such a great defeat that the Persians were…

Kemal Atatürk: Giving a New Nation a New History
Kemal Atatürk wanted to break with the past by providing his new nation with a new history that would give the Turks pride by showing that they were an ancient and civilized nation. The textbook produced under his personal supervision presented the Turks as central to the development of virtually all ancient civilizations. This became an official doctrine promulgated in historical congresses and many publications. It drew heavily on European writ…
Coinage, Byzantine Egypt
Under the Roman Empire, Egypt struck an anomalous coinage centered on a base silver tetradrachm, whose purity and size declined drastically after the late second century.
Lydia
Lydia, an inland region of western Asia Minor centered on the Hermos Valley, was populated by people who spoke an Indo‐European language and were also called Maeonians (Homer Il . 3.401, 18.291).
Egypt under Muʿāwiya Part I: Flavius Papas and Upper Egypt
Papyri from Egypt constitute the largest body of contemporary documentary evidence for the reign of Muʿāwiya. Most notable among them are the 107 texts in the archive of Flavius Papas, a local official of Upper Egypt in the 670s. Most are in Greek and provide insight into the administration, society and economy of a provincial centre. Since many deal with taxes and requisitions, they illustrate the incessant demands of the Islamic regime in Fusṭā…
Egypt under Muʿāwiya Part II: Middle Egypt, Fusṭāṭ and Alexandria
The first part of this paper discussed a large collection of documents from Upper Egypt illustrative of society and economy in the time of Muʿāwiya. Here, further papyri, of pagarchs of Arsinoe, present supplementary information about grain production, taxation, great estates, the postal service and the role of the church in the local economy. Information about Fusṭāṭ and Alexandria depends on literary sources and archaeology. Fusṭāṭ, which start…

Bien que les érudits aient longtemps accepté l'idée qu'il y avait onze personnages ayant porté ce nom, un examen plus approfondi montre qu'il y eut en fait vingt-deux Constantins, en incluant enfants et parents qui n'exercèrent pas le pouvoir de manière indépendante.

The Persians in the Roman Near East (602–630 AD)
When the decisive battle of the Yarmuk in 636 AD gave the Muslim Arabs control of Syria, they gained a land that had been Roman for 700 years. Yet in the memory of most of its inhabitants, their recent subjection to the Sassanian Persians would have been fresh and even dominant. The forces of Chosroes II, which had controlled Syria for a generation, had only been withdrawn in 630. Anyone who had reached adulthood by the time the Arabs arrived had…

Byzantine Malagina and the Lower Sangarius
Malagina was a place of considerable strategic importance in the Byzantine period, from the Dark Ages until the final collapse of imperial rule in Asia Minor. Frequent mentions in the sources indicate that it was a major base, a station on the route of imperial armies to the East, and the seat of the stables from which the expeditions were supplied. It had an administration of its own, and grew in importance as the Empire shrank. Although its gen…

Strobilos and Related Sites
In the Byzantine period, urban life in Anatolia underwent a decay in which ancient cities shrank behind reduced circuits of walls or withdrew to the fortified hilltops whence they had descended in the Hellenistic age. Even the greatest city of the empire, Constantinople, saw a drastic diminution of population and resources, abandonment of its ancient public works and services, and consequent transformation from a classical to a medieval city. The…

Sites and Strongholds of Northern Lydia
A remote mountainous region of Lydia, rarely visited and hardly known to history, contains antiquities which form the subject of the present study. This was an area where classical culture was slow to penetrate, but when it did take root, it produced a remarkable number of inscriptions which are comprised in an exemplary modern corpus. The inscriptions illustrate conditions in Hellenistic and especially Roman times, with only an occasional glimps…

An Early Imperial Pseudodipteral Temple at Sardis
The building conventionally referred to as the Early Imperial Temple was discovered and excavated during the 1981 and 1982 seasons at Sardis. Only one corner of the external colonnade has been uncovered; it is preserved to stylobate level with parts of two bases and one column in situ; no other upper parts are preserved. On the basis of architectural form it is tentatively restored as a pseudodipteral temple of the early- or mid-first century A. …

Archaeology and the "Twenty Cities" of Byzantine Asia
The fate of the great cities of western Asia Minor in the post-classical period has remained obscure and controversial. Most discussions, based on the literary sources, have come to one of two opposing conclusions: that urban life continued without major interruption from the Roman through the Byzantine period, or that cities declined to fortresses or small towns. Research based on the sources, which rarely have occasion to mention provincial tow…
