This book sheds new light on the religious and consequently social
changes taking place in late antique Rome. The essays in this
volume argue that the once-dominant notion of pagan-Christian
religious conflict cannot fully explain the texts and artifacts, as
well as the social, religious, and political realities of late
antique Rome. Together, the essays demonstrate that the
fourth-century city was a more fluid, vibrant, and complex place
than was previously thought. Competition between diverse groups in
Roman society - be it pagans with Christians, Christians with
Christians, or pagans with pagans - did create tensions and
hostility, but it also allowed for coexistence and reduced the
likelihood of overt violent, physical conflict. Competition and
coexistence, along with conflict, emerge as still central paradigms
for those who seek to understand the transformations of Rome from
the age of Constantine through the early fifth century.
