Introduction

Revised : 12th March 2007

Levantia is a site for the social history of the Roman Empire and Near East, roughly between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. It explores this especially by means of practical reconstruction and experimentation. It also includes discussion of the issues of historiographic method and representation in public contexts.

These pages have been created by Timothy Dawson as the result of twenty years involvement in medieval research, reconstruction and re-enactment ... not to mention an eternity at university (well, it seems that way sometimes!).

All reproductions shown on these pages have been made, as well as researched, by Timothy Dawson, unless otherwise stated.

A forthcoming publication with Osprey.
