The BABESCH Supplements is a series of books in the field of Mediterranean Antiquity, which complements the annual journal. The series includes monographs as well as the proceedings of symposia and edited volumes. The topics range from Mediterranean Prehistory to the Early Middle Ages. The hallmark of the series is the high quality standard which is accomplished by the academic peer-reviewing as well as through the careful editing and the high amount of figures and (colored) illustrations.
The volumes in the BABESCH Supplements are subject to academic anonymous peer review.
