In fact, only half of the papers in this volume (Ando, Díaz, Tantillo, Carrié, and Inglebert), apart from the introduction, deal explicitly with matters of periodization and definition (although none seriously treat geography). The volume’s editor, Rita Lizzi Testa, designed a session meant to address the current debate over the “chronological definition” and “geographical context” of Late Antiquity (viii), issues that Hervé Inglebert’s concluding remarks characterized as the “two big problems of late-antique studies” (215). This collection of papers began life at the twenty-second meeting of the International Congress of Historical Sciences held at Jinan, China, in August 2015. ![]()
