Antioch II: The Many Faces of Antioch: Intellectual Exchange and Religious Diversity, CE 350-450
Antioch II: The Many Faces of Antioch: Intellectual Exchange and Religious Diversity, CE 350-450
During the fourth century, Antioch on the Orontes was the most important imperial residence in the Roman Empire and a hot-bed of intellectual and religious activity. The writings of men such as Libanius, the emperor Julian, Ammianus Marcellinus, John Chrysostom, Theodoret, and many others, provide a density of written sources that is nearly unmatched in antiquity, while the archaeological evidence of the city’s evolution is much harder to reconstruct. This volume assembles state-of-the-art scholarship on these ancient authors within the context of recent archaeological work to offer a rare comprehensive view of this late Roman city.
