ABSTRACT
Timothy E. Gregory received his A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. in 1972 from the University of Michigan where he studied with the distinguished Byzantinist Paul Alexander and the noted Roman historian John W. Eadie. After receiving his Ph.D., he taught for several years at Penn State before joining the faculty at Ohio State University in 1978, where he has taught for close to thirty years in the Department of History. During this time he crossed paths with numerous other scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates, and he has rarely failed to make some kind of impact on their lives as scholars and academic citizens. This volume is a tribute to his influence on a generation of scholars who have worked to understand expansive and relatively unexplored tableaux of the post-Antique Eastern Mediterranean.
