Citation
Description “Late Antiquity” has been historiographically constructed as a mere transitional phenomenon between the classical past and the medieval future. The rehabilitation of the period and its cultural production in the past decades resulted in the deconstruction of such a reductive perspective on the past and raised questions about its significance and impact in terms of continuity and change. This interdisciplinary conference therefore brought together scholars from different disciplines (archaeology, religious studies, liturgical studies, history, art history, and classical philology) whose combined insights challenged the established narratives on the period and offered new perspectives on its truly protean nature.
