The time is ripe to place environmental issues at the heart of debates about Late Antiquity. This conference takes a Mediterranean-wide approach, setting climate or pollen data into the wider historical context of the 1st millennium A.D., greening our narrative of Late Antiquity.

All are welcome. Admission 25 GBP; Students / OAPs 12 GBP. To register write to M.Mulryan@kent.ac.uk before 5th October.
Convenors: John Haldon (Princeton), Adam Izdebski (Krakow), Luke Lavan (CNRS Paris)
