Roman and Local Citizenship in the Long Second Century CE
Imperial and Local Citizenship in the Long Second Century CE explores the significance of Roman citizenship in the long century before Caracalla's universal grant of citizenship in 212 CE. From this emerges a new portrait of the early Roman empire: an exclusive regime of citizenship persisted, in a context of remarkable political and cultural integration.
Unrest in the Roman Empire
Despite Roman claims to have brought peace, unrest was widespread in the Roman empire. Revolts, protests and piracy were common occurrences. How did contemporaries relate to and make sense of such phenomena? This volume gathers eleven contributions by specialists in the various literatures and modes of thinking that flourished in the empire between the second century BCE and the fifth century CE - including Graeco-Roman historiography and philosophy, Jewish prophecy, Christian apology and the writings of the Tannaitic rabbis - to investigate these questions.

Together the contributions expand our understanding of the varied politics that pervaded the Roman empire. They highlight the intellectual labour at every level of society that went to (re)making this imperial formation throughout its long history. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode

The chapters advocate for more inclusive...

The 60% Potential
Around 60% of people are unsure where they stand: on one hand, they view green consumption and sustainable behavior as important; on the other, they associate these with buzzkills like rationality, sacrifice, or higher costs. This group represents the 60% potential for companies — mainstream consumers often overlooked in the ideological battles between Eco-Fans and Eco-Grouches. Yet it's precisely this group that needs to be inspired to embrace green consumption. They offer enormous potential — not just for the environment, but also for revenue growth!
