- Peace and Reconciliation in the Classical World(London & New York2017).This volume brought together twenty-one established and emerging scholars to consider ideas and processes of peace from a variety of cultures across the classical world. Dr Moloney was the key organiser of the volume from its inception to publication: setting out the key subject for review, selecting key contributors, and securing Routledge as a publisher for this innovative collection. Contributors were commissioned by Dr Moloney, to review the ancient experience of conflict resolution and concession, and their responses highlight the broad spectrum of ancient thoughts on the nature and value of peace. The subsequent arrangement of the published volume was that of both editors(Dr Moloney and Dr M.S. Williams), who offered short introductory notes to each section. The volume divides into three, to highlight the importance of peace across different historical periods, cultures, and theoretical perspectives:-Section 1, ‘Imagining Peace in the Ancient World’, presents papers considering the range of ancient discourses and debates on peace: it asks what theories and conceptions were prominent in antiquity, and how those concepts developed and changed over time. -In Section 2, ‘Imposing Peace in the Ancient World’, contributors review the practical options for dispute resolution in antiquity: from arbitration and alliance to subjugation and suppression, noting how the realities of ancient ‘peace’ were often quite different to modern models and practices. -The final section, ‘Instituting Peace in the Ancient World’, assesses ancient plans for long-term peace and long-term reconciliation, as contributors ask how enduring any such compromises could ever be in antiquity. Each editor also added their own individual piece to the arrangement, as well as a co-authored introduction that summarized each chapter in order of appearance and drew alternative thematic connections across the different chapters.
