Thrilled also to share an issue with other fantastic authors, including @calthalas.bsky.social on the "urban system" of Edessa visible in the Syriac Acts of the Second Council of Ephesus and @gzornetta.bsky.social on conflict and division at San Vincenzo al Volturno

I return to Ammianus Marcellinus' account of a "riot" at the Septizodium—a monumental fountain and façade of the imperial palace in Rome—to consider why it specifically may have been chosen by the crowd as their gathering place. What meanings did it hold, both for the regime and those protesting it?
