<p>I have another 3 things to tell you. </p><br /><p>Tomorrow, as in Sunday 1st December, I will be hosting 3 Zoom Calls for Patrons, where you can ask me anything. This is a reminder for those of you already on Patreon. And if you’re not but want to get on the call then you could just sign up for $1 and join in the conversation. </p><br /><p>The calls are at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm in Coordinated Universal Time. Which is essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time but apparently we don’t want to show off too much about that. Anyway, hopefully you’ll be free then.</p><br /><p>Second thing to tell you is that tour dates for 2025 have been provisionally agreed. </p><br /><p> They are May 17-26th and Oct 11-20th. The first tour will be in Istanbul for five days before visiting Ephesus and other sites in Western Anatolia. While the October tour will also spend five days in Istanbul before visiting Nicaea and Cappadocia. </p><br /><p>Remember these are provisional dates before you ink them into your diary. But they should be made official soon. Email me <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a> to get on the mailing list so you can get booking information as soon as it’s available. </p><br /><p>Finally you may have a heard an unfamiliar voice introducing this update. That was Kirin Tsang from Frugalflyer.ca. Kirin was on our last tour back in October and has written a review of our journey down Turkey’s west coast for FrugalFlyer.ca. You can read that review at frugalflyer.ca/blog and hear about what it’s like to be on one of our tours. </p><p> </p><p>As the name suggests the folks at Frugalflyer try to help you gather points and rewards so you can travel better and cheaper. They have their own podcast where they share tips and ideas with you. It’s the Miles Ahead podcast so search for Miles Ahead wherever you get your podcasts to find out more. </p><br /><p>I look forward to speaking to some of you tomorrow and seeing some of you in 2025. </p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.

A conversation with Thomas Barfield (Boston University) about a distinctive category of empires that he has proposed in a new book, Shadow Empires: An Alternative Imperial History (Princeton University Press 2023). These are empire that derive a significant part of their revenues or symbolic capital not from lands that they rule directly but by extorting them from other empires, from control over trade routes, or from the ruins of previous states. During its long history, RomanĂa dealt with a number of these "exogenous" empires, including the Huns, Venetians, and Rus'.
<p>Antigonus the One-Eyed came closer than almost any other figure in the post-Alexander world to recreating the dead king's empire, but his success aroused the ire of the other Successors, and his doom wasn't far behind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Patrick's book is now available!
