11 For which see Vanhaverbeke, Martens and Waelkens, ‘Another view on late antiquity: Saga-
lassos (SW Anatolia), its suburbium and its countryside in late antiquity’.
12 C. Mango, Le développement urbain de Constantinople (IVe–VIIe siècle) (Paris: Boccard, 1985, rev.
ed., 1990) shows, largely from textual evidence, how gradually the city actually took shape;
see above, Chapter 1.
13 See Jonathan Bardill and John W. Hayes, ‘Excavations beneath the peristyle mosaic in the
Great Palace of the Byzantine emperors: the pottery from site D, 1936’, Cahiers archéologiques
50 (2002), 27–40.

Paolo Bono and with the assistance of Dirk Krausmüller and Robert Jordan, The Water
Supply of Byzantine Constantinople (London: Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies,
2008).

16 For the late antique inscriptions of Aphrodisias, see C.M. Roueché, Aphrodisias in Late
Antiquity (London: Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, 1989), Performers and Parti-
sans at Aphrodisias (London: Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, 1993).
17 R.R.R. Smith, ‘Late Roman philosopher portraits from Aphrodisias’, Journal of Roman Studies
80 (1990), 127–55; on the late antique sculpture of Aphrodisias see also R.R.R. Smith, with
Sheila Dillon et al., Roman Portrait Statuary at Aphrodisias (Mainz am Rhein: Verlag Philipp
von Zabern, 2006), and the volumes of Aphrodisias Papers edited by Smith and others since
1990.
18 See A. Chaniotis, ‘The conversion of the temple of Aphrodite at Aphrodisias in context’, in
Johannes Hahn, Stephen Emmel and Ulrich Gotter, eds., From Temple to Church. Destruction
and Renewal of Local Cultic Topography in Late Antiquity (Leiden: Brill, 2008), 243–73, empha-
sizing the religious complexity of the city’s population.
19 Ephesus: see Clive Foss, Ephesus after Antiquity. A Late Antique, Byzantine and Turkish City
(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979); for recent work there under the auspices
of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, see S. Ladstätter and A. Pülz, ‘Ephesus in the late
Roman and early Byzantine period: changes in its urban character from the third to the
seventh century AD’, in Poulter, ed., The Transition to Late Antiquity on the Danube and Beyond,
391–433. The fi ne remains at Apamea give some idea of its life as a centre of late antique
philosophical and religious culture, for one aspect of which see Polymnia Athanassiadi,
‘Apamea and the Chaldaean oracles: a holy city and a holy book’, in A. Smith, The Philosopher
and Society in Late Antiquity (Swansea: Classical Press of Wales, 2005), 116–43.
20 For some of the defi ciencies in available archaeological evidence, see Poulter, ‘The transi-
tion to late antiquity’, in Poulter, ed., The Transition to Late Antiquity in the Danube and Beyond,
at 26.
21 See above, Chapter 5; the papers edited by C.M. Roueché, ed., De aedifi ciis. Le texte de Procope
et les réalités, Antiquité tardive 8 (2001), 7–180, bring out some of the problems inherent in
relating this work to the surviving material evidence.
22 For sixth-century Carthage and other North African sites, see Anna Leone, Changing Town-
scapes in North Africa from Late Antiquity to the Arab Conquest (Bari: Edipuglia, 2007), 154–78.
The methodological problems involved in using Procopius’ lists of phrouria in the Balkans
are discussed by Archibald Dunn, ‘Continuiity and change in the Macedonian countryside:
from Gallienus to Justinian’, in Bowden, Lavan and Machado, eds., Recent Research on the Late
Antique Countryside, 535–86, at 575–80, and J.-P. Sodini, ‘The transformation of cities in late
antiquity within the provinces of Macedonia and Epirus’, in Poulter, ed., The Transition to
Late Antiquity, 311–36, at 314–15.
23 See Y. Tsafrir and G. Foerster, ‘Urbanism at Scythopolis-Bet Shean in the fourth to seventh
centuries’, Dumbarton Oaks Papers 51 (1997), 85–146. The massive earthquake of AD 747–48
has also been thought to be the cause of damage at other Decapolis cities including Pella,
Gadara, Abila and Capitolias: Liebeschuetz, Decline and Fall of the Roman City, 297.
