Liverpool University Press to publish ‘Essays in Late Long Antiquity’ from 2026
Essays in Long Late Antiquity (ELLA) is a newly created Open Access journal which positions itself in the field of first millennium studies. It is a field which has seen growth in recent years and has an established momentum. The journal intends to move away from the Western European view of periodization, a view which the editors hope will entice interdisciplinary and supraregional approaches. Therefore, the journal hopes to cover the 3rd to the 9th centuries (200 – 800) and broader Afroeurasia in its research and to stand apart from discipline siloing.
