Much like our world today, Late Antiquity (fourth-seventh centuries
CE) is often seen as a period rife with religious violence, not
least because the literary sources are full of stories of
Christians attacking temples, statues and 'pagans'. However, using
insights from Religious Studies, recent studies have demonstrated
that the Late Antique sources disguise a much more intricate
reality. The present volume builds on this recent cutting-edge
scholarship on religious violence in Late Antiquity in order to
come to more nuanced judgments about the nature of the violence. At
the same time, the focus on Late Antiquity has taken away from the
fact that the phenomenon was no less prevalent in the earlier
Graeco-Roman world. This book is therefore the first to bring
together scholars with expertise ranging from classical Athens to
Late Antiquity to examine the phenomenon in all its complexity and
diversity throughout Antiquity.
