This workshop has not been advertised that much, but for anyone interested in Late Antique Latin historiography and recent groundbreaking developments in our understanding of it this looks extremely interesting. I am really sad I will not be able to attend.
George and Justin's book has challenged the phantom of Kaisergeschichte, arguing for a big history work of Sextus Aurelius Victor, preserved only through abbreviations and fragments. Bleckmann expressed his scepticism of their thesis in a review of their book, dismissing it as just another model.
Bernie Sanders. Crystal clear.

I have published a letter from the 17th-century classicist Johann Georg Graevius to his French colleague Adrien de Valois, about the latter's Ammianus edition, on the blog of the Last Historians of Rome project. lasthistorians.shca.ed.ac.uk/blog/2025/12...
