Contributors are: Harmut Leppin, Brian Croke, Geoffrey Greatrex, Philip Rance, Rene Pfeilschifter, Michael Whitby, Bruno Bleckmann, Laura Mecella, Timo Stickler, Marek Jankowiak, Charles Pazdernik, Hans-Ulrich Wiemer, Henning Börm, Anthony Kaldellis, Umberto Roberto, Olivier Gengler, and Élodie Turquois.
