OverviewCyprus was a thriving and densely populated late antique province. Contrary to what used to be thought, the Arab raids of the mid-seventh century did not abruptly bring the island's prosperity to an end. Recent research instead highlights long-lasting continuity in both urban and rural contexts. This volume brings together historians and archaeologists working on diverse aspects of Cyprus between the sixth and eighth centuries. They discuss topics as varied as rural prosperity, urban endurance, artisanal production, civic and private religion and maritime connectivity. The role of the imperial administration and of the Church is touched upon in several contributions. Other articles place Cyprus back into its wider Mediterranean context. Together, they produce a comprehensive impression of the quality of life on the island in the long late antiquity. AUTHORS: Panayiotis Panayides completed his PhD at Durham University in 2016 and from 2018 to 2021 held a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Oxford. His research interests focus on the archaeology and material culture of the Mediterranean in Roman and Byzantine times, the display of ancient sculpture, and the reception and fate of classical architecture and decoration. Ine Jacobs is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Associate Professor of Byzantine Archaeology and Visual Culture at the University of Oxford.
