Landlords and warlords in the later Roman Empire
Landlords and warlords in the later Roman Empire
In ad 503, when the Byzantine emperor Anastasius mustered the largest ever army (or so Procopius says) against the Persians, Joshua the Stylite, who was witness to the war, wryly remarked, ‘To the Arabs of both sides this war was a source of much profit and they wrought their will on both kingdoms.’ 1 This example demonstrates how the people who emerged under the ominous, but vague name of Saracens were to some extent the creation of the great po…
Conjunctures and Conjectures
Although much has been written in the past on Roman trade with India, and especially trade with South India, the subject has come back into fashion in the last decade, partly as a result of new perspectives opened up by Indian and European scholars,1 and partly as a result of new information, such as the recent archaeological discoveries at Pattanam in Kerala.2 This, therefore, is a good time to summarize what we now know and perhaps to point a w…
Roman Proto-industry in Southern France
This article treats the problem of proto-industry in agrarian societies. On the basis of an analysis of the Roman production of terra sigillata in Southern France, it attempts some comparisons with examples from Mughal India. These suggest the importance of the imperial apparatus. extractive, administrative as well as consumptive, for the creation of such industries

In search of Muziris
The importance of Muziris in Roman trade with India does not need any underlining. The port on the Malabar coast of modern Kerala figures prominently in the descriptions of classical geographers, it receives mention in the earliest Tamil poems, and it has come into the news more recently through the publication of a Greek papyrus from Egypt. It is also clear from the amount of Roman silver and gold coin found in S India — which gives some substan…
Rural Manufacturing in the Rouergue from Antiquity to the Present
In looking at the production of pottery and cheese in the southwest of France, we want to suggest that over the long term the region had a much more complicated history of production than its present, predominantly rural economy might suggest. The manufacturing processes were linked symbiotically with other local activities, and were often carried out by “peasants” working in agriculture for a good part of the year
Le commerce romain avec l'Inde et la prise de décision économique
Le III e siècle en Gaule Narbonnaise
L'importance des invasions du Bas-Empire
Cet article complète les études archéologiques et numismatiques sur les "grandes invasions" en Occident au Bas-Empire et se borne à examiner les textes antiques. L'historien et l'archéologue s'efforcent souvent de combler les lacunes de leur propre documentation, en se référant chacun à celle (aussi peu fiable) de l'autre. Si les historiens antiques, dont beaucoup étaient contemporains des invasions, se trompent fréquemment, une lecture plus préc…
