Later Roman Empire
Character Lists
Here you can find lists of all the characters within the sources from the Later Roman Empire analysed by the Project. For each character we provide a unique identifier, the character name, their gender, and information on where they appear throughout the source.
Genders are recorded as either M (male), F (female), V (varied = groups with, or potentially with, mixed genders), and X (unspecified - e.g. angels and spirits).
We have also provided separate character lists of all the female characters within each source.
And finally, on the right-hand side, you can find lists of all female characters in the order in which they appear in the text.
See here for the ways in which we have connected these characters with each other in preparation for our network analysis.
