Ine Jacobs is Associate Professor of Byzantine Archaeology and Visual Culture, University of Oxford. Her main research interests focus on the development of the Eastern Mediterranean in late antique and Byzantine times, mainly dealing with material evidence and how this relates to and can (not) be combined with contemporary literary sources. Hugh Elton is Professor of Ancient History & Classics, at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, specialising in Roman and Late Roman political and military history, and the regions of Cilicia and Isauria in southern Turkey.

This very informative and well-illustrated volume offers much to scholars of Late Antiquity, particularly regarding the mechanics, rates and character of change in both urban and rural contexts.
