7:00 PM
Strathcona Branch of the Edmonton Public Library

Speaker: Amanda van Merlin

The Late Roman Period was a time of widespread political, social, and economic changes faced by people who made up the empire. Through these changes, the economic infrastructure of the empire was maintained. My research on this period is focused on a church complex in the village of Alahan within the eastern empire in the administrative region known as Isuria or Rough Celicia. This examination focuses on the agricultural decisions that all households would face when producing goods within this economic and this can be used to understand the economic production during the late Roman period.
