OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Trinity Emeritus Fellow Bryan Ward-Perkins has worked on the period 300-700 CE throughout his career as an historian and archaeologist. In this talk he explores a topic that is, sadly, all too apposite today: the economic regression of the fifth century CE. No subsequent economic down-turn has remotely matched this in its scale and durability – but, as his talk will make clear, we have no reasons to be complacent.
