The first part of the book considers how the powers of the emperor, state and civic authorities were expressed in the phyiscal environment, and how coinage and material culture were caught up in the political life of the period. The second part investigates the \"middle classes\" and \"the poor\", who are often less visible in archaeological, textual and epigraphic records. Other articles consider such topics as long term social evolution and the definition of time in Late Antiquity. Two extensive bibliographic essays provide an overview of published literature relating to social and political life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of contributors  Social and Political Life in Late Antiquity: an Introduction, Adam Gutteridge and Carlos Machado  Bibliographic Essays  Political Life in Late Antiquity: a Bibliographic Essay, Luke Lavan Social Life in Late Antiquity: a Bibliographic Essay, Lukas Schachner  The Roman State: From Identity To Policy  Constructing Roman Identities in Late Antiquity?
