The impacts of a global pandemic on the efficacy and stability of contemporary wildlife conservation
Conservationists speculated on potential benefits to wildlife of lockdown restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic but voiced concern that restrictions impeded nature conservation. We assessed the effects of lockdown restrictions on biodiversity conservation in South Africa, a biodiverse country with economic inequality and reliance on wildlife resources. We solicited expert opinion using the IUCN’s Threats Classification Scheme to structure…
Sensitivity to Status-Based Rejection
Now more than ever, criminal justice agencies are looking to fill their ranks with a diverse workforce that reflects the populations they serve. Criminal justice is a field where diversity matters, is encouraged, and is sought after in recruitment efforts. Also, research shows that females are highly effective in this discipline due to their unique communication skills. Therefore, it is important for females and minorities to feel they are welcom…
Hypocrisy, Moderation, and Compromise
In addition to providing careful discussions of important themes in Machiavelli, Molière, and Rousseau, Ruth Grant’s Hypocrisy and Integrity: Machiavelli, Rousseau, and the Ethics of Politics lays the foundation for a politically informed understanding of the prerequisites of moderation and compromise

The Accelerated Smart(-Ification) of Cities Post-Covid-19
Governments, developers and big-tech companies have become enamoured with the possibility of the smart city: an efficient, convenient (and profitable) “smart” metropolis to help accommodate and optimize rapid urban growth. While it is tempting to wash renders of future cities with the typical smart city visions of drones, segways, and shiny reflective glass towers—the reality is that good (smart) cities incorporate a bottom-up messiness and urban…
Montesquieu and History
I am very pleased to have a chance to participate in a discussion of these two fine books. They are both very clear and tightly argued, full of attention to detail without losing sight of the broad
Gender Bias and the Journal of Roman Studies
Reflecting on present unease about structural biases in the discipline, and aiming to offer a data-rich response to some recent criticisms of this Journal , the Editorial Board has undertaken a study of the representation of female scholars in the Journal of Roman Studies . To that end, we have gathered data on publications, submissions and JRS Editorial Board membership for the past fifteen years, from Volume 95 (2005) through to the present vol…
Sociological Studies in Roman History
Keith Hopkins was a sociologist and Professor of Ancient History at Cambridge from 1985 to 2001. He is widely recognised as one of the most radical, innovative and influential Roman historians of his generation. This volume presents fourteen of Hopkins' essays on an impressive range of subjects: contraception, demography, economic history, slavery, literacy, imperial power, Roman religion, Early Christianity, and the social and political structur…
Pliny and Pacatus
In June 388, the eastern emperor Theodosius I finally moved his armies westward to confront the usurper Magnus Maximus. Maximus had first challenged the established pattern of imperial power when five years earlier, in summer 383, he had crossed from Britain into Gaul and defeated the western emperor Gratian, who was hunted down and killed. Theodosius had been selected by Gratian in 379 to rule the eastern half of the empire; his immediate task h…
Theodosius II
Theodosius II (AD 408–450) was the longest reigning Roman emperor. Ever since Edward Gibbon, he has been dismissed as mediocre and ineffectual. Yet Theodosius ruled an empire which retained its integrity while the West was broken up by barbarian invasions. This book explores Theodosius' challenges and successes. Ten essays by leading scholars of late antiquity provide important new insights into the court at Constantinople, the literary and cultu…
End-of-Life Planning Activities
This study examined end-of-life planning and whether common characteristics predicted completion of these decisions. Participants in the Nebraska End-of-Life Survey were asked whether they had heard about or completed five plans: a health care power of attorney agreement, a living will, a last will and testament, funeral or burial preplanning, and organ and tissue donation. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of these outcomes. Pr…
Ruling the Later Roman Empire
Crossing The Frontiers
This chapter explores some of the differences in compositional strategies and the disposition of subject matter which mark off books from the rest of Ammianus' history. Its focus is the magic and treason trials in Rome (28.1) and Antioch (29.1-2). Like the great suicidal philosophers of old, Julian is in no hurry to die; not at least until he has taken time to ruminate on the nature of the soul and to reflect on his Res Gestae . The decomposing s…

1. Conquest 2. Imperial Power 3. Collusion 4. History Wars 5. Christians to the Lions 6. Living and Dying 7. Rome Revisited
History wars
‘History wars’ uses the literature of the second century AD to recover a sense of how those who were conquered sought to establish an identity in a new imperial world. Conquest by Rome had an enormous impact — architecturally, intellectually and organizationally. The past was refashioned and incorporated into a Roman present in which cities wanted to participate. Some authors reacted by producing their own competing histories. Pausanias' Descript…
Conquest
Collusion
‘Collusion’ examines the workings of the empire from the point of view of the privileged elites in the cities of the Mediterranean. The Roman empire was run by a very small provincial bureaucracy and Roman governors had a restricted remit. Limited imperial interference meant that the empire relied on local elites for its success. A local oligarchy ran councils, which were in charge of civic life and payment of imperial taxes. These elites enjoyed…
Imperial power
‘Imperial power’ considers the presentation of imperial might, looking at emperors both as gods and as men. A powerful imperial cult existed, with emperors deified through processions, architecture and gladiatorial games. Towns would organize elaborate celebrations of imperial divinity as a way to connect imperial power to local concerns and display their own importance within the empire. The emperor's portrayal as divine helped to make sense of …
Christians to the lions
‘Christians to the lions’ considers the empire's treatment of Christians and the development of Christianity on the margins of society. Slaughter of Christians in the arena was just one part of the Roman games. The games were a mixture of order and violence, like an empire in miniature. Only the emperor could violate the conventions that governed them. Christians set out to challenge this balance of order and violence through willing martyrdom. T…
The Roman Empire
Bureaucracy and Government
On September 18, 324, at Chrysopolis, just across the water from Byzantium, Constantine’s army won a decisive battle. This victory over the emperor Licinius (who had ruled most of the eastern half of the empire since 313) established Constantine’s control over a reunified Roman world. It effectively doubled his domains. But like all military successes - no matter how glorious or divinely inspired - the reconquest of the eastern Mediterranean pose…
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Constantine
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Constantine offers students a comprehensive one-volume survey of this pivotal emperor and his times. Richly illustrated and designed as a readable survey accessible to all audiences, it also achieves a level of scholarly sophistication and a freshness of interpretation that will be welcomed by the experts. The volume is divided into five sections that examine political history, religion, social and economic h…
Emperors, government and bureaucracy
This chapter examines the consequences for emperors and their supporters of the increasing centralization of power and the continued growth of a sophisticated and well-organized bureaucracy. The emperor in the later Roman world was undoubtedly a powerful figure. Later Roman emperors could not rule alone. As fourth-century commentators clearly saw, the effective governance of empire inevitably involved a close reliance on sometimes untrustworthy c…
Rousseau and the Case for (and against) Censorship
Rousseau is one of the most important modern defenders of censorship and one of the most important victims of censors. In his works can be found arguments both for and against censorship Rather than being symptoms of the tendency to exempt himself from rules he wants to apply to others, these different cases form part of a consistent understanding. Rousseau argues both that communities depend on a moral consensus that must be kept immune to criti…
Rousseau's Case for and against Heroes
Understood properly, Rousseau's account of heroes develops a new understanding of heroism and its effects on ordinary people that is sensitive to the dangers of the heroes as well as to the benefits they confer. He shows how admiration for heroes can help form a civic identity fostering a strong sense of active citizenship. Additionally, he explores the possibility of a less demanding form of citizenship less dependent on heroic models and conseq…
To Persuade without Convincing
Critics have long noted the paradoxical nature of Rousseau's appeal to a solitary lawgiver within a social contract theory based on equality and consent. However, far from representing a compromise of the principles of equality and consent, the appeal to the legislator is an illustration of the basis upon which consent can be obtained. Rousseau denies that a rational calculation can inspire a whole people to comply with justice. Therefore, he arg…
