Law, Society, and Authority in Late Antiquity, 2001, 380 p., rel. -

The 16 studies in this volume consider the interrelationship between social change and the development of new kind of law and authority during Late Antiquity (260-640). They provide new ways of looking at both the law and the society of this period, in the context of the kinds of impacts that each had on the other against the backdrop of the manifestations of new kinds of authority.
