Divination and Revelation in Later Antiquity
The period from the Late Roman Republic to the end of antiquity was marked by a wide interest in divination, and more broadly by an intense belief in the possibility of establishing close and personal connections with the gods.

Different religious, ethnic and cultural groups resorted to prophecy to define their respective i…

Artemidorus, Dream Exegesis, and the Case of the Interpolating Expert Dreamer

I argue for these conclusions: first, that Ptol…

It looks at identifying needs, the delivery of social housing through the Housing Corporation and housing associations, and the social housing options of rented and low‐cost home‐ownership schemes. It also explores the way forward and some of the challenges involv…
