This is a list of resources that I used as a library or other resource materials. Here are the five most important:
Commito, Angela. “The Cities of Southern Asia Minor in the Sixth Century.” in: Jacobs, I., and Elton, Hugh. Asia Minor in the Long Sixth Century: Current Research and Future Directions. (Oxford: Oxbow Books, 2019).

This book discusses the urban and rural transitions that took place in the 4th and 5th centuries in Asia Minor. Uytterhoeven discusses how imposing mansions in towns of Asia Minor illustrate that members of the upper political, ecclesiastical, and socio-economic layers of the society made themselves visible and represented their power through private buildings.
