12.01.2022 For the Galla Placidia fans out there (and come on, who isn't), this week our own Geoffrey Dunn argues that contrary to descriptions in primary source literature, it was Galla's own initiative in 'retaking the west' from the usurper Joannes in 425 that was far more instrumental than the traditional claims which state that Galla's efforts were prompted by her nephew Theodosius II https://bit.ly/2HkFERM
10.01.2022 Happy new year fellow AEMA members! This week, a small post to remind you that the Journal also includes book reviews by our members and committee. This week, we are highlighting a review by our own John D'Alton of Sarah David-Secord's Where Three Worlds Met, which explores the role Sicily has played as a focal point for cultural exchange (both peaceful and non-peaceful), particularly during the early medieval period where it was subject to occupation by several distinct cultures. Follow the link below to read up on John's take of Where Three Worlds Met and, for more expert reviews and fascinating articles, check out the JAEMA Informit page (which may just have some new content coming....soon) https://bit.ly/2XoNhLe
06.01.2022 This weeks featured article by Shane McLeod provides us with a bubble-bursting look at Scandinavian burials in England and how, contrary to their depiction in later centuries, the image of bloodthirsty heathen foreigners from across the seas that the term 'Viking' conjures is not as real as we may like to think (a pre-emptive apology to any fans of the Viking TV series out there) https://bit.ly/36Ixm07
06.01.2022 From the archives this week, Nigel Westbrook's article uses primary sources discussing the sixth-century Nika riots in Constantinople, in combination with modern digital mapping of the city, as a means to infer the topography of the city during the time of this tumultuous event in Byzantine history https://bit.ly/3lvTgsk
01.01.2022 This weeks article has Edwin Pace discussing the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Notitia Dignitatum) by Gildas, which documents a brief reoccupation and subsequent withdrawal of Britain by Rome in the 420's CE, and addresses some of the truths and (many) errors chronicled by Gildas' within this fascinating work https://bit.ly/36fFB3k Image: Fourth-century Chi Rho fresco from Lullingstone Villa, Kent.
