Chromatius of Aquileia and the Making of a Christian City examines
how the increasing authority of institutionalized churches changed
late antique urban environments. Aquileia, the third largest city
in Italy during late antiquity, presents a case study in the
transformation of elite Roman practices in relation to the urban
environment. Through the archaeological remains, the sermons of the
city's bishop, Chromatius, and the artwork and epigraphic evidence
in the sacred buildings, the city and its inhabitants leave
insights into a reshaping of the urban environment and its
institutions which occurred at the beginning of the 5th century.
The words of the bishop attacking heretics and Jews presaged a
shift in patronage by rich donors from the city as a whole to only
the Christian church. The city, both as an ideal and a physical
reality, changed with the growing dominance of the Church, creating
a Christian city.
