Excited to announce that the Ancient World Mapping Center has released a new pair of interactive maps on church councils in Late Antiquity! awmc.unc.edu/2026/04/13/t...

Ari Bryen's new book is a remarkable historical sociology of Roman law *and* a compelling diachronic account of its transformation from a lively site for the telling of stories and making of meaning to a cold instrument of state power & social control. And the writing is sharp. Highly recommended.

I’m a high school Latin teacher & self-funding my PhD research because neither UK nor US fund part-time online. My son (19) is in college now & I dream we can graduate at the same time, since I waited so long. Your generosity is appreciated. The muses will sing your praises 🤗
