Focusing on Latin historiography \u2014 including the <em>Historia Augusta<\/em>, Lactantius\u2019 <em>De Mortibus Persecutorum<\/em>, and the <em>Historiae Abbreuiatae <\/em>\u2014 the paper examined how military group cognition was used to narrate political change, explain usurpations, and construct imperial legitimacy through patterns of collective agency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A productive discussion followed the presentation, and the topic sparked further engagement during networking sessions throughout the conference. Such initiatives build meaningful bridges with the academic community and affirm that we no longer discuss group minds in siloes. Instead, we are actively inviting scholars from across disciplines to explore this concept with us \u2014 and we are captivating their interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2001 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucy.ac.cy\/groupminds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/274\/2025\/06\/502584188_10232420176740194_3187537644502823557_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"239\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always a pleasure to see our researchers spreading the word about group minds and sharing insights with the wider academic world.
