The Dodecanese and the Eastern Aegean Islands in Late Antiquity, AD
300-700 is a regional study of the history, archaeology, and
religious profile of the Late Antique Dodecanese (the islands of
the south-eastern Aegean, centred on Rhodes), exploring how the
spread of Christianity altered these communities and how the
prosperity of the eastern Roman Empire, and the new capital in
Constantinople, affected their life. Incorporating comparative
evidence from the rest of the Aegean islands and both the Greek and
Turkish mainlands, the volume analyses material from the whole area
as part of a wider system of social and economic relations,
political history, and culture. Accompanied by an extensive
archaeological gazetteer, it presents the administrative and
political history of the islands and considers the written and
archaeological evidence for the monotheistic communities of the
eastern Aegean, offering a closer examination of the late history
of pagan temples and the transition to Christianity. It discusses
the settlement and economic history of the islands, focusing on the
urban history of Rhodes and Kos, but also on the numerous key
non-urban sites from the rest of the islands, in particular the
extended ruins of a barely known site located in the small island
of Saria, north of Karpathos. The final chapter addresses the
seventh century-which saw the destruction of so much of what had
been built up in the fourth to sixth centuries-when the islands'
societies acquired a new role for the State as naval outposts,
functioning as a border zone in the course of the Arab-Byzantine
wars.
