Created on the scientific network ResearchGATE on August 17, 2008, the group Research News in Late Antiquity is a forum where members can announce and discuss all that is newsworthy in the field of Late antique studies : new publications, calls for papers, upcoming conferences, symposiums, workshops, seminars and exhibitions, job offers and fellowships, new websites, blogs and podcasts, archaeological discoveries... Beginning with the year 2009, this same named blog is intended to extend the group on the Internet and to complete the information it gathers in a different manner, including multimedia materials. Hoping that the blog, like the group, will attract individuals interested in the Late antique Period.
