Cyprus was a crossroads in the ancient eastern Mediterranean, a key
location between east and west, in which Judaism, Greco-Roman
religions, and Christianity intersected, and where Christianity
came to flourish. Bringing together scholars of religion and
archaeology to study Cyprus in antiquity, this volume's
contributions cover a myriad of topics, including the mosaics of
Cyprus, its silver treasures, religious tensions between Christians
and others, the role of Epiphanius, the story of St. Barnabas, the
powerful position of Cyprus as autocephalous within emerging
orthodoxy in antiquity, those who used so-called magical texts,
those who worked in a harbor, those involved with the transport of
building materials, and early representations of Cyprian saints. By
drawing on literary, archaeological, and art historical evidence
from the first century CE to the medieval period, the volume
elucidates the diversity of Christianity in late antique Cyprus,
while also discussing relations between Christians, Jews, and
members of Greco-Roman religions.
