From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lightly soiled and rubbed binding. Otherwise in good condition. - Content: The conference behind this book was one of a series which have been organised since 1994 by the University of Wales Institute of Classics and Ancient History (UWICAH) and subsequently published by the Classical Press of Wales. The choice of the theme 'Race, Religion and Culture in Late Antiquity' fitted into the framework of a research and postgraduate programme entitled 'From Classical to Christian Culture' which was established in 1997 by the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Swansea and the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Cardiff. The Cardiff department and the Research Institute for Classical, Oriental, Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Groningen (COMERS) were also involved during 1998 in organising another international workshop on 'Portraits of Spiritual Authority in Late Antiquity', which was published in 1999.1 The two conferences and their attendant publications illustrate some of the benefits of intense inter-departmental collaboration at a time when academic co-operation is at some risk of being overshadowed by inter-university competition. UWICAH provided a modest grant towards the travel costs of some of the visiting speakers, and the University of Wales Inter-University Academic Support Fund enabled several postgraduates on the Classical to Christian Culture programme to attend. The conference, however, was largely self-financing and we are grateful to the institutions of many of the visiting speakers, which gave grants enabling them to attend. The success of the occasion owed much to the atmospheric surroundings of Clyne Castle in Swansea, where the conference was held, and to the warm and thoughtful hospitality of its staff. Above all we would like to thank the participants, those who have contributed papers for the publication and the many others who took part in the discussions which they provoked. The editors' task in producing the book has been made easy by the readiness with which contributors have followed the guidelines suggested to them, and we have throughout been supported by constructive criticisms and helpful advice from Anton Powell, the general editor for the Classical Press of Wales. We should like to thank Dr Stephen North (Swansea) for his help with the index. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Original cloth with dust jacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The period between 300-600 AD saw huge changes: the Graeco-Roman city-state was first transformed, then eclipsed; much of the Roman Empire broke up and was reconfigured; new Barbarian kingdoms emerged in the Roman West. Above all, religious culture moved from polytheistic to monotheistic. Here, twenty papers by international scholars explore how group identities were established against this shifting background. Separate sections treat the Latin-speaking West, the Greek East, and the age of Justinian. Themes include religious conversion, Roman law in the Barbarian West, problems of Jewish identity, and what, in Late Antiquity, it meant to be Roman.
