Review :
Seafaring and Mobility in the Late Antique Mediterranean has much to offer historians and archaeologists. It is a collection of fresh and innovative studies of seafaring, mobility and connectivity in the late antique Mediterranean world. This volume is an innovative piece of scholarly work that discusses in novel ways the interactions of humans with the marine environment during Late Antiquity. The subject of the volume touches on important current topics like continuity and disruption in human societies that lived in contact with dynamic natural environments like the sea, making it a very fitting contribution for this Ancient Environment Series. With its interdisciplinary approach the book highlights how it is possible to make Classics and research of the ancient Mediterranean world relevant to the present and the future. This is an in-depth volume that brings welcome attention and discussion to some of the previously overlooked spaces, places and themes within the study of the seafaring world of the Mediterranean in Late-Antiquity.
