List of Late Roman provinces Puns

Through the 13th, 14th, 15th centuries the cities of Italy, Venice, Genoa, Milan, Florence, Pisa, Naples, Rome, all grew to be cities of 50, or 100, or even 200 thousand people. How were these cities fed?

Some American Unis have access to it :( none of my Euro friends can get it. And there are really a few more articles from the same book I could use but this one is pretty important, would be really grateful if someone could help

Thank you for looking into answering my questions. My understanding of the distribution of the late roman army was that they were primarily stationed in or around the hinterland of the frontier provinces or near imperial capitals i.e. outside of Constantinople. The army would billet near or in frontier cities during the non campaigning winter season.

Modest, but important cities, like Athens were far from the frontiers, but were walled, even after the Heruli sacking in 267 AD. Who manned these walls in peacetime as they were far from the frontiers or did roman units need to be massed there if an incursion occurred?

How was public order maintained in cities without military units especially during riots etc? For instance, did law courts have armed 'militia' or serving 'officers' who could arrest, jail and/or punish criminals?

I appreciate that I may be asking a number of questions here, but the core problem is around defense and maintaining of order and the sources I have been reading suggest that most cities were governed by solely civil officials who may have had no access to armed 'officers' to exercise their authority if the need should arise.

Many thanks for considering my questions. Kind Regards, Matthew.

I have seen many Middle Egyptian dictionaries out there but they don't seem to contain some terms from the older phase of the language not do they contain some of the newer Late Egyptian terms.

We're currently filming the Pilate.

Did different provinces see this an an opportunity to cause upheaval to loosen the Romans power in their region?

(Repost because my first try did not manage to attract attention)

So I tried reading up a bit about the history of Bavaria and its very origin (if we may call it that) leaves me a bit baffled.

Apparently, by 487, where my alter ego in this scenario lives, the area south of the Danube river, had been an integral part of the Roman Empire, settled by a mixture of Roman colonists from Italy and Celts (?). In the 4th and 5th century the region had more or less constantly been invaded by Germanic tribes who also settle down in the area. And now I am suddenly ordered to leave and head for Italy.

Why is this in the first place? Why does Odoacer want me and my local fellows to leave but not the populations of, say, Pannonia, Dalmatia, or Gaul? Why are we not left behind like the Britons? Who am I anyway? How likely is it that I'm the descendant of Roman colonists from Italy anyways, or am I just some kind of Romanized Celt? How densely populated is the area I'm living in? Apparently there's more than enough room for those pesky invaders to settle down, so there are probably not that many people left.

So now anyway I'm packing my belongings. Am I entirely on my own to head South or am I supposed to be escorted by soldiers? Are there even legionaries left in the area in the first place? What happens if (not when) I manage to arrive in Italy? Do we even know if people made it through? I do understand that there might not really be that many sources left from that time period that might offer us some insights but maybe archaeology is helping us out a bit here?

EDIT: Formatting.

Edit: By monarchy I mean real absolute despotic monarchies or at leasyt partially undemocratic constitutional monarchies like Liechtenstein, the UK is a democracy.

For about 300 years, the region produced no Church Fathers, whereas everywhere else did, i.e. Rome, Greece, Africa and the Near East. Why?
