A conversation with Ahmad Al-Jallad (The Ohio State University) about the languages and inscriptions of pre-Islamic Arabia, our main contemporary source for life, death, and worship before the time of the Prophet Muhammad. We talk about field surveys in search of inscriptions and what they tell us about Allah and other Arabian deities in the early centuries of the first millennium. You can find his work on academia.edu (here) and some of his lectures are posted online. The article on which this conversation is based has not yet been published (its provisional title is "Ancient Allah: An Epigraphic Reconstruction"). You can access the Online Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient North Arabia (OCIANA) here.

Although they’re often presented as a sort of living, breathing set decoration, the women at aristocratic courts in the Middle Ages served many different functions, from the practical to the ceremonial. Educated and influential, these women served as ambassadors not only of their gender, but often of their families, and places of origin, as well. So, what was it like to be a daily companion to the elites of the medieval world? This week, Danièle speaks with Caroline Dunn about the lives of ladies in waiting.<br /><br />You can support this podcast on Patreon - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/medievalists" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://www.patreon.com/medievalists</b></a><br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Ειδικό επεισόδιο στο οποίο απαντώ σε ερωτήσεις σας σχετικά με την εποχή της Κωνσταντίνειας δυναστείας. (Κωνσταντίνος Α'-Ιουλιανός). Ευχαριστίες προς τον υποψήφιο διδάκτορα Αρχαίας ιστορίας κ. Αριστόπουλο για τον χρόνο που αφιέρωσε στην ιστορική έρευνα και τη διατύπωση των απαντήσεων. Οι ερωτήσεις που απαντώνται: Έκανε μεγάλα οικοδομικά έργα εκτός της Κωνσταντινούπολης ο Κωνσταντίνος Α'; Πως εξελίχθηκαν τα γεγονότα της Α' Οικουμενικής Συνόδου; Αν ο Κωνσταντίνος δεν είχε βασιλεύσει τόσα χρόνια, θα είχε εδραιωθεί τόσο εύκολα ο Χριστιανισμός; Ήταν ο Κωνστάντιος Β' πιο ικανός από τα αδέρφια του; Η' απλά έτυχε να κυβερνά το πλουσιότερο τμήμα της αυτοκρατορίας; Τι στοιχεία έχουμε από τις πηγές για την αυτοσυνείδηση των εθνικά Ελλήνων εκείνης της περιόδου; Έπαιζε ρόλο αν ήταν χριστιανοί ή εθνικοί; Ποιες άλλες πόλεις της Ανατολής αναπτύχθηκαν εξαιτίας της μεταφοράς της πρωτεύουσας στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Πόσο πιθανό είναι να υπήρχαν στρατιώτες από τη Ρωμαϊκή Βρετανία στην Κωνσταντινούπολη; Ποια ήταν η κοινωνική θέση των γυναικών; Ήταν καλύτερη ή χειρότερη σε σχέση με τα προηγούμενα χρόνια; Αν δεν πέθαιναν τόσοι στρατιώτες στη μάχη της Μούρσας, θα ήταν αναστρέψιμη η κατάσταση για τη Ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορία; Πως αντιμετώπιζαν οι γιοι του Κωνσταντίνου Α' το όραμα με το Χριστόγραμμα; Ήταν μέρος της προσωπικής τους προπαγάνδας ή δεν αναφέρονταν ποτέ σε αυτό; Αν οι περισσότεροι στρατιώτες στη Δύση ήταν Γερμανοί, στην Ανατολή ποιοι λαοί επιστρατεύονταν; Γιατί ήταν τόσο δύσκολο για τη Ρώμη και την Περσία να έχουν ειρήνη; Ποιός ήταν ο σκοπός τους; Πόσο διαφορετικός ήταν ο τρόπος ζωής των ανθρώπων σε σχέση με την Αρχαία Ελλάδα;
<p>There was no particularly pressing reason for Rome and Carthage to go to war in 264 BC over the small city of Messana, but one small incident nevertheless sparked a conflict that lasted for 23 years and caused untold devastation. Why did this happen? Was war between the two great powers actually inevitable?</p><p>Patrick's book is now available!

When it comes to intercontinental trade in the Middle Ages, the Silk Road seems to get all the love. But the movement of people and goods between kingdoms and continents was made possible in large part by water. This week, Danièle speaks with Amanda Respess about ships and shipbuilding in the medieval world, what we know about early global trade routes, and the fascinating bits of archaeology we’re still finding under the sea.<br /><br />Support this podcast on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/medievalists" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://www.patreon.com/medievalists</b></a><br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

War over Coele Syria breaks out yet again. With the death of Cleopatra I, her three very young children (Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII, and Cleopatra II) are raised to the throne by their ambitious ministers Eulaios and Lenaios, who lead campaign of reconquest against Antiochus IV Epiphanes. It turns into a disaster, with the Syrian king launching two successful invasions into Egypt and besieging Alexandria. It seems the Ptolemaic kingdom is on the verge of collapse and Antiochus poised to be master of Egypt... that is unless the Roman Republic has something to say about it.

A conversation with Sverrir Jakobsson (University of Iceland) about the experiences of Northmen -- especially Varangians -- who traveled to Constantinople and the south and returned home with stories, swords, riches, and prestige. The conversation is based on Sverrir's book The Varangians: In God’s Holy Fire (Palgrave 2020). Instead of my usual intro, Sverrir and I discuss some odd parallels in the histories of Greece and Iceland.
