Essays in Long Late Antiquity (ELLA) is a newly-created Open Access, peer-reviewed journal positioned in the field of first millennium studies, a research framework that has gained momentum in recent years. The journal moves away from a Western European periodization of late antiquity in order to entice interdisciplinary and superregional approaches. Therefore, the journal is open to submissions dealing with circa the second to the ninth centuries (ca. 100 – 800 CE) and the broader Afro-Eurasian region, taking a stand against disciplinary siloing and recognizing increasing interconnectivity in this period. Submissions dealing with individual periods and places within this wider geographic and temporal scope are also welcome.
ELLA acts as a place of publication for those in history, archaeology, art history, religious studies, and philology. It fosters exchange between researchers often separated by disciplinary boundaries, offering them the chance to publish shorter essays and translations of late antique sources alongside traditional journal articles.
The first issue will appear in Spring 2026.
