Reviews
Peter Bell's monograph applies structures derived from sociology, specifically those focusing on conflict theory and resolution, to the Eastern Roman Empire in the sixth century ... [it] offers a refreshingly novel interpretative framework with which to approach late antique issues. * Douglas Whalin, Reviews in History *
cogent and rewarding. * Charles F. Pazdernik, Classical Journal *
Peter N. Bell presents a comprehensive and original analysis of social conflict in the age of Justinian ... all future work on the subject will have to engage with this stimulating study. * Alan Harvey, American Historical Review *
