Simon Corcoran is an ancient historian and senior research fellow at University College, London. He received his D.Phil from St John's College, Oxford in 1992. He was awarded the Henryk Kupiszewski Prize[1] for his book The Empire of the Tetrarchs in 1998.[2]

He is working on 'Projet Volterra',[3] an extensive on-line public database of law (Roman, Germanic or ‘barbarian’, and ecclesiastical) for the period AD193–900.

Corcoran is a Consulting Editor for the Journal of Late Antiquity and has served on the Council of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies.[4][5][6]

Gregorian Code discovery

In 2010 the Volterra database was used by Corcoran and Salway to identify previously unknown fragments of the Gregorian Code. The "Fragmenta Londiniensia" are seventeen pieces of parchment estimated to date from AD400, the document having been cut up and re-used as book-binding material. This is the first direct evidence yet discovered of the Gregorian Codex.[7][8][9][10][11]

Greed is a motive everyone can understand. Lactantius includes greed and avarice as a notable part of the tetrarchic maladministration practised by Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius, and Maximinus, and indeed the cause of the inflation the edict seeks to curb. Thus it is Diocletian's greed that gives rise to the Prices Edict itself.
