Byzantium & Friends | 158. The Book of Daniel, the Four Kingdoms, and imperial eschatology, with Chris Bonura Thursday Jun 04, 2026

A conversation with Christopher Bonura (Mount St. Mary's University) about the apocalyptic tradition of identifying the Four Kingdoms prophesied in the Book of Daniel. Which one was the Roman empire? The fourth, scheduled to fall with the others, or something that came afterward (a tradition sometimes called imperial eschatology)? Among other topics we discuss Eusebios of Caesarea and the reign of Herakleios as possible turning points in this tradition. Christopher has published a monograph on one of the most important of these texts: A Prophecy of Empire: The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius from Late Antique Mesopotamia to the Global Medieval Imagination (University of California Press 2025), though our discussion focuses more on two articles, 'Eusebius of Caesarea, the Roman Empire, and the Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy,' Church History 90 (2021) 509-536; and 'Eschatology and Apocalypticism in the Age of Heraclius,' forthcoming.

Byzantium & Friends | 151. East Roman archaeology: goals and challenges, with Marica Cassis Thursday Feb 26, 2026

A conversation with Marica Cassis (University of Calgary) about the archaeological study of the east Roman world and how it interfaces with traditional, text-based historiography. What can archaeology see and what not? What challenges has it faced to emerge as a field and what are the prospects that it faces today? The conversation was inspired by Marica's introduction to Medieval Archaeology in the East Roman World (Leeds: Arc Humanities Press, 2024).

Byzantium & Friends | 150. Why were pseudo-Arabic inscriptions placed on churches in Greece?, with Alicia Walker Thursday Feb 12, 2026

A conversation with Alicia Walker (Bryn Mawr College) on the pseudo-Arabic inscriptions (or pseudo-kufic) that appear on a number of tenth- and eleventh-century churches in Greece, most notably at the monastery of Hosios Loukas. What did the Arabic script signify in Orthodox culture at the time if not tension with Islam? The conversation is based on Alicia's essay 'Letters from the Edge: Mapping Pseudo-Arabic between Byzantium and the Near East,' in E. Bolman et al., eds., Worlds of Byzantium: Religion, Culture, and Empire in the Medieval Near East (Cambridge University Press 2024). Alicia also prepared a video version of our conversation with images of the places and objects we discuss: you can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqoBeFpWots

Byzantium & Friends | 145. Seeing into the minds of others, with Ellen Muehlberger Thursday Dec 04, 2025

A conversation with Ellen Muehlberger (University of Michigan) about how some people in late antiquity tried to model, confirm, or interpret what they thought was going on in the minds of others. We briefly talk about the genre of the lecture book, and then about classroom exercises in impersonation (were they exercises in empathy or not?) and breaking into houses to see what people had in their private quarters. The conversation is based on Ellen's recent book Things Unseen: Essays on Evidence, Knowledge, and the Late Ancient World (University of California Press 2025).

Byzantium & Friends | 144. The two millennia of Roman history, with Ed Watts Thursday Nov 20, 2025

A conversation with Ed Watts (University of California, San Diego) about his recent book, The Romans: A 2,000 Year History (Basic Books 2025), which covers two millennia of Roman history, down to 1204 AD. We talk about questions of scale in writing history, of continuity and discontinuity in the Roman experience, and what enabled this polity to last for so long. What insights does studying its second millennium (at Constantinople) cast on its first (at Rome), and vice versa?

Die im 6. Jh. n. Chr. verfasste Chronographia, die Johannes Malalas zugeschrieben wird, entfaltet in Form einer Chronik die Geschichte der Welt von Adam bis zur Zeit des Kaisers Justinian (527–565 n. Chr.). Auf dieser Webseite finden Sie die digitale Vorveröffentlichung des systematischen philologisch-historischen Kommentars, dessen Erarbeitung sich eine Forschungsstelle der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Mischa Meier und seinem Stellvertreter Dr. Olivier Gengler widmet. Mit diesem Kommentar soll ein Arbeitsinstrument vorgelegt werden, das dieses Werk erschließt, den Zugang zu ihm erleichtert und eine konkretere wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit ihm ermöglicht. Erste Elemente einer Einführung zu Malalas‘ Chronographia finden sich in den verschiedenen Bänden der durch die Forschungsstelle herausgegebenen „Malalas Studien“. Zusätzliches Material, Working Papers und thematische Synthesen werden in einer nahen Zukunft regelmäßig auf dieser Webseite hinzugefügt. Die Navigation im Kommentar erfolgt pro Buch und Kapitel oder durch eine Textsuche (). Die Zeilen des griechischen Textes sind doppelt nummeriert: die fortlaufende Nummerierung der Thurn-Ausgabe in Zyklen von 1 bis 95 und die Nummerierung nach Kapiteln, die im TLG und in unserem Kommentar verwendet wird. Die ersten Wörter der kommentierten Lemmata sind im Text farbig hervorgehoben und führen direkt zu dem betreffenden Kommentar.

Byzantine Monuments Photographs Archive Project

The Byzantine Monuments Photo Archive is an ongoing project by Koç University Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for Late Antique and Byzantine Studies (GABAM) to create a digital photographic archive of Byzantine monuments in Istanbul. The core of the archive is made up of monuments found across the Historic Peninsula. Professional photographers have made several visits to each monument to photograph the buildings under the most ideal weather, light and environmental conditions. The archive includes photographs of all visible exterior and interior facades of each monument, and covers a wide range of details from wall paintings to mosaics, and from inscriptions to capitals. Where possible aerial drone photography has been used to document the monument’s location within the current urban environment. The archive will continue to grow as new photographs of the monuments are added.
