Roma 410 AD. Mujeres bajo el asedio

In the last few years. I have focused on the study of Late Roman women. My first approach was as an author of historical fiction. I was planning to write a novel about a 4th c. woman, but I soon realized that the task of researching for the project was more interesting than the actual task of developing the novel. Sharing my knowledge online, especially through my Twitter account (@tadeuscalinca), was also a decisive factor. I felt it was the moment to conduct my research activities in a different way. So far, I have written a couple of articles, one of which has already been accepted for publication in a specialized journal, and a book, which was published in November 2024.

 

As you can see in the picture, now I use my real name (Jesús Sanchis Calabuig), but I also decided to include my pseudonym, as it is still an important reference for me.

If I have enough strength, time and motivation, I'll try to continue doing research and writing about Late Antiquity.

It's been a long time...

I started this blog in 2008, but I haven't published any posts here in five years. Certainly, it's been a long time. The news is that I'm currently preparing a new article, which I hope to write in a matter of days. It will be about Celtic languages and toponymy.

Now, what have I been up to all this time? I haven't done much in the area of historical linguistics or the theory of language origins. Instead, I have focused on my literary side and my love for ancient history. As a result, I have written and published a couple of historical novels, both in Spanish: the first one is called Monte Alma (2016), the second Principes Mundi (2018). For the moment, they're not translated into any other language.


You can find more information about my novels in my literary blog, which I sign with my pen name, (Tadeus Calinca).

So yes, ten years later I come back to this blog. The search for an understanding of the ancient world goes on, in a variety of ways.
