This book focuses primarily on the end of the pagan religious
tradition and the dismantling of its material form in North Africa
(modern Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) from the 4th to the 6th
centuries AD. Leone considers how urban communities changed, why
some traditions were lost and some others continued, and whether
these carried the same value and meaning upon doing so. Addressing
two main issues, mainly from an archaeological perspective, the
volume explores the change in religious habits and practices, and
the consequent recycling and reuse of pagan monuments and
materials, and investigates to what extent these physical processes
were driven by religious motivations and contrasts, or were merely
stimulated by economic issues.
