Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines religious, political, and social dynamics in the late antique period. It explores the Christianization of the Roman calendar, popular politics in Constantinople, interreligious dynamics through graffiti, the valuation of widowhood, and debates surrounding the cult of saints. The journal also investigates scholarly traditions in Athens and the rhetorical use of barbarian stereotypes, alongside metaphorical interpretations of lactation and breastfeeding in early Christian thought.
