Beate Böhlendorf-Arslan (Hrsg.) Veränderungen von Stadtbild und urbaner Lebenswelt in spätantiker und frühbyzantinischer Zeit. Assos im Spiegel städtischer Zentren Westkleinasiens. The transformation and restructuring of the ancient city in Asia Minor in the Late Antique and Early Byzantine periods has become a central topic of archaeological and historical research in recent decades.

Miriam Rachel Salzmann Negotiating Power and Identities. Latin, Greek and Syrian Élites in Fifteenth-Century Cyprus. This study deals with social mobility, integration, and identity construction among the Latin, Greek, and Christian Oriental elites on Cyprus in the 15th century. The formerly Byzantine island had been under the rule of the Lusignan crusader dynasty since 1192, which had brought with it a Frankish nobility.
