The Code: Horizon of Infinity presents a string of tales that authenticate the concept of the mind’s ability to travel to the edge of the universe. It all began with the breath that blew a domino effect, starting the collapse of a virgin universe like a cancer hollowing out a sinkhole. The residues in this ongoing recycling chemistry build the elements that gather the motor of volition, the soul of the intellect, and the moral code of character, the seed that gives meaning to matter and the nascence of a knowledge bank. Says the author, “I was fascinated by awesome childhood outer body experiences, and like tangible life takes the upper hand, the experiences niggle in mind, as I lived my mind in the vast expanse of space, walking earth on a cushion of air. In adulthood these paranormal experiences multiplied to read meaning in them. Triggered by my baby daughter’s dual nine months apart resuscitation ordeal, and already minutes after birth, her eyes exuded a cognitive universe. Enforced to heal her, before medication brings her brain to the cabbage state, I delved deeper into the mysteries of life, the inherited old motherly spirit given a new body to deal with. I returned to my notes, weighing up these coherent messages of the mind, returning with amazing scientific precision, and supporting evidence from the edge of the virgin universe.”

The Roman period witnessed massive changes in the human-material environment, from monumentalised cityscapes to standardised low-value artefacts like pottery. This book explores new perspectives to understand this Roman ‘object boom’ and its impact on Roman history. In particular, the book’s international contributors question the traditional dominance of ‘representation’ in Roman archaeology, whereby objects have come to stand for social phenomena such as status, facets of group identity, or notions like Romanisation and economic growth. Drawing upon the recent material turn in anthropology and related disciplines, the essays in this volume examine what it means to materialise Roman history, focusing on the question of what objects do in history, rather than what they represent. In challenging the dominance of representation, and exploring themes such as the impact of standardisation and the role of material agency, Materialising Roman History is essential reading for anyone studying material culture from the Roman world (and beyond).
