The quaestorship in the third and second centuries BC by Prag, J

The Great Transformation. Civic Coin Design in the Second Century BC by Meadows, A

“…In this paper I suggest that there was a paradigm shift in Greek coinage in the second century BC. In contrast to Rome at the same time, this did not manifest itself in the form of the iconographic preoccupations of individuals or families, but rather in a new view of communal identity, which may be witnessed in other aspects of civic behaviour in the same period.…”

Romans, Egyptians, and the second Arab siege of Constantinople (717/18) by Booth, P

“…In this chapter, I want to explore the question of Arab-conquered populations’ continued commitment to inclusion in the East Roman empire with reference to a unique act of political subversion—the dramatic, perhaps decisive defection to the Romans of Egyptian sailors in the Arab fleet during the failed second siege of Constantinople in 717/18. It is unclear how far their defection might be mapped onto an abiding or resurgent ideological commitment to inclusion in the empire, as Arietta Papaconstantinou suggests for eighth-century western Thebes, where elites ‘still lived in Byzantium—in the Byzantium their great-grandfathers had known.’2 I will locate its more immediate impulse in the Arab conquerors’ fiscal innovations, which had long encouraged resistance and which intensified in the build-up to the siege. …”

Afterword by Dorling, D

“…This book uses a range of different real text samples to explore how wealth inequality has been portrayed in the British media in the decades between the Second World War and the present day. Using a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies framework, chapters present an historical overview to reveal how mass media discourse has helped make increased wealth inequality look perfectly normal. …”
