Vikings in the East
Androshchuk, Fedir

In his book, Fedir Androshchuk provides a comprehensive insight about the contacts between Scandinavians, Kievan Rus’, and Byzantium in the 9th–11th centuries. Through archaeological and written sources, he examines how trade, political networks, and cultural exchange shaped the formation of hybrid identities.

A History of the Herules
Prostko-Prostyński, Jan

In his monograph,  Jan Prostko-Prostyński contextualises the history of the Heruls against the background of the migration period. The history of the Heruls shows how the development and migration of a military group in this period should always be understood in a wider context of tension between the Eastern Roman and Western Roman Empires. The few reports by ancient authors have received little attention from previous research and only a few publications on this gens have appeared in recent years.
