Heading to Munich next week for a lecture in the LMU ancient history seminar and then part II of a workshop I have co-organized with John Weisweiler, "Uneven Development in the Ancient Mediterranean and Near East," drawing on the ideas of A. Sen (capabilities approach) and B. Milanovic (inequality).
I was promised perfect Biergarten weather, but I think it might be a little rainy...*
* there is no weather event on planet earth that will keep me out of the Biergarten.
