EX-PATRIA

While Michael was travelling up to join us in Lille, I was also on my way back from Hamburg, having just presented on the Sasanian Empire’s use of captives in the fifth century at the Social Contexts of Rebellion in the Early Islamic Period (SCORE) conference in Hamburg. I would not recommend making this journey by bus (it’s a bit long!), but the conference itself was a tremendous experience.
