Military History of Byzantine Rome, 1204-1261 is now also on Amazon! amazon.com/Military-History-…
New volume of Arctos. The journal concentrates on antiquity, but at least “Interpreting Emerging Poverty Demographic Growth and Growing Economic Inequality in the Later Roman East” by Arttu Alaranta is relevant regarding Byzantine studies. #Byzantium journal.fi/arctos/issue/view…
Another article in the latest Acta Byzantina Fennica is about Roman and regional identity in South Italy. The discussion about #Romanes #Byzantine identity has been hot #Byzantium
The latest Acta Byzantina Fennica includes, for examole, the article of Zuzana Dzurillová about narrative suspension in late Byzantine Romances. #Byzantium #romances #narratives

Today I participated, as only Finnish, in the conference of the Society for Medieval Mediterranean in Lisabon. I spoke about corsairs in service of Byzantine emperors in the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
