Examining the numerous primary sources, including inscriptions,
religions, histories, literary references, legal codes, and
archaeological reports, Linda Jones Hall presents a composite
history of late antique Berytus - from its founding as a Roman
colony in the time of Augustus, to its development into a center of
legal study under Justinian. The book examines all aspects of life
in the city, including geographical setting, economic base, built
environment, political structures, religious transitions from
paganism to Christianity, and the self-identity of the inhabitants
in terms of ethnicity and occupation. This volume provides: * the
first detailed investigation of late antique Phoenicia * a look at
religious affiliations are traced among pagans, Jews, and
Christians * a study of the bishops and the churches. The full
texts of numerous narratives are presented to reveal the
aspirations of the law students, the professors, and their fellow
citizens such as the artisans. The study also explores the cultural
implications of the city's Greek, Roman and then Syro-Phoenician
heritage.
