For one of the most isolated provinces in the Roman Empire, the archaeology of Roman Britain has been one of the most researched areas.
However, the coverage is not complete and this study focuses on one of the neglected areas – what the tombstones of Roman Britain reveal
about epigraphy, gender and familial relations throughout the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Much of this study refers to the Romanisation of Britain
during this period of time.
Chapter 1 looks at the social significance of tombstones and burial customs; Chapter 2 contains the analysis by categorization of gender and age;
Chapter 3 details the dedicators of Romano-British tombstones; Chapter 4 discusses the epigraphic and artistic significance of the tombstones;
Chapter 5 details the materials and dimensions. There are six data Appendices presenting the chronological analyses, and separate studies
of civilian and military tombstones.

The Roman Emperor Gaius 'Caligula' and his Hellenistic Aspirations examines one of the most notorious of Roman Emperors in light of his
rather unconventional upbringing in the Eastern Provinces of the Roman Empire.
The study has sought to use the ancient evidence in order to reassess the context in which the young Gaius Caligula was raised particularly
in relation to the influence of his father, Germanicus.

Father Ernie Smith began to walk with the people of St Kilda in 1982. His were the first of many steps taken in forming St Kilda’s
Sacred Heart Mission which today employs 150 staff and 450 volunteers who help thousands of people access the basic necessities of life,
connect with the community and develop support networks that nurture their lives. Against the backdrop of changing demographic and housing
patterns in Melbourne, and changes in the church and models of caring, this history of the Sacred Heart Mission traces the way this agency
has evolved and responded to the social issues of homelessness and prostitution and the effect of these on the local community of St Kilda.

- A Good School: Haileybury's Post-War Years
- Leigh Edmonds
- Institute for Public History, Monash University, 2008
What is a good school?
Does it simply provide a service for a fee? Does it embody a tradition? Does it serve a higher purpose?
How do you judge what is a good school?
This history of Haileybury in the post war years explores how its various Headmasters and Principals and their school communities
have tried to answer these questions, each in their own time and in their own way. Getting it right has never been easy but getting it
wrong has never been an option.
