With the arrival of Leonora Neville’s epilogue, I’m happy to share that the manuscript for my new edited volume, Portraits of Generalship & Authority in the Age of Justinian and Beyond, is now complete. A heartfelt thank you to all the contributing authors! The TOC is below

@mikeaztec28 I have online versions of Companion to Procopius and Companion to Ancient Iranian Warfare but prefer physical volumes to read. These would just be additions to my library for future research

@stros006 which ones you looking for ?

Does anyone have a discount code for #Brill publishing? Looking to make a few purchases online but a discount would certainly help this PhD student lol

@chrysoboullon Are these physical versions?

@stros006 Make the purchases inside a library that has a good Brill subscription and you can purchase the MyBooks for $/€25?

If you happen to be in Tübingen on Thursday and you have nothing better to do, I will be giving a seminar talk on Byzantine civil wars at the TBNS. @EdinClassics @CLAIBS1 @SPBSUK

@PuerAchaemenius Congratulations!
