Routledge Urban and Religious Spaces in Late Antiquity Book

Explore the transformation of the ancient world through this scholarly collection by Professor Spieser. This volume examines how urban landscapes changed from the Roman period through the iconoclast era in Byzantium. By focusing on notions of space, the text investigates the impact of christianisation on the physical environment. Instead of looking at single events like war or natural disasters, the research examines how various factors shaped the development of towns. This collection of studies provides a detailed look at the evolution of early Christianity and its relationship with the cities it inhabited. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the historical development of urban and religious settings during Late Antiquity and the early Byzantine period.
