Authority in Byzantium
Authority is an important concept in Byzantine culture whose myriad modes of implementation helped maintain the existence of the Byzantine state across so many centuries, binding together people from different ethnic groups, in different spheres of life and activities. Even though its significance to understanding the Byzantine world is so central, it is nonetheless imperfectly understood. The present volume brings together an international cast of scholars to explore this concept. The contributions are divided into nine sections focusing on different aspects of authority: the imperial authority of the state, how it was transmitted from the top down, from Constantinople to provincial towns, ...
Silent Warriors
This is the story of the submarines which failed to come home in both war and peace. They will remain for eternity as the Silent Warriors of the British coast.In both the First and the Second World Wars submarine warfare transformed the West Coast of Britain into a pitiless arena where a life or death struggle was played out between U-boats attempting to close the sea-lanes and Allied ships striving to keep them open.

Byzantine Trade, 4th-12th Centuries
The 28 papers examine questions relating to the extent and nature of Byzantine trade from Late Antiquity into the Middle Ages.

The emphasis is on recently uncovered or studied archaeological evidence relating to key topics. These include loca...

Eat, Drink, and be Merry (Luke 12:19)
This volume brings together a group of scholars to consider the rituals of eating together in the Byzantine world, the material culture of Byzantine food and wine consumption, and the transport and exchange of agricultural products. The contributors present food in nearly every conceivable guise, ranging from its rhetorical to more practical applications--such as the preparing, processing, preserving and selling of food abroad. The chapters expand on papers presented at the 37th Annual Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, in honour of Professor A.A.M. Bryer.
