Abstract | The third session in our series considers the topic of bureaucratic frontiers (which is much more interesting than it initially may sound!). More specifically, papers in this session examine issues related to communication, diplomacy, and political integration across the frontiers of the late antique Mediterranean and beyond, gender and bureaucracy, as well as how frontiers were conceptualized in late antique polemical and religious sources. |
