Editor’s Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of this edition is \u2018conflict\u2019, chosen to address an ever present theme in our society. Conflict is often devastating for everyone involved, warping personal identities and leaving a trail of destruction behind it. However, conflict also brings the chance to understand others and to adapt; the latter being of great worth today, where the world changes dramatically day after day. These ideas are reflected in the collected papers of this edition of Pons Aelius, <\/em>whether that is seen during the First Crusade, in 19th century Spain or in Ancient Rome. You will find arguments that tackle how conflict of the past can be used to build a society and how memories of war can be transformed into a new identity. The papers take us from Ancient Rome and beyond, all the way to 19th century Spain, where conflict was, and still is, shaping the world of the past and the present. We must remember to keep our minds open during this process; conflict cannot always be avoided but we can ensure, if it is neccesary, that it is used productively. Not for material gain, or to harm others, but to promote understanding and acceptance in the wake of it.
