As a thriving late Roman city between the second and sixth century AD, it was a truly multi-functional and cosmopolitan centre, with administrative, cultural and religious powers, as well as providing an important link on trade routes from the eastern empire to the west Mediterranean. Culture and Society in Later Roman Antioch presents recent research on Antioch and is indicative of renewed interest in the city and its environs. Drawing on literary sources, such as the writings of the orator Libanius and the preacher John Chrysostom, archaeological finds and epigraphy, the authors consider issues of Romanisation, Christianisation, Hellenic education, identity and ethnicity, as well as the place of Antioch within the Roman world as a whole. / Contents Introduction (Isabella Sandwell) 1, Libanius and Higher Education at Antioch (Samuel N.
