Chromatius of Aquileia and the Making of a Christian City: Routledge Studies in the Early Christian World

Autor Robert McEachnie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2020
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.

Recenzii

Chromatius of Aquileia and the Making of a Christian City is a welcome and refreshing departure from the usual type of publication on social and religious transformations in the fourth century. By placing Chromatius and his rhetorical constructs at the centre, a colourful and gripping study of Aquileia and its inhabitants is born. This is indeed a thrilling tale of a bishop with a mission. The author narrates with originality and verve how Chromatius conquered the hearts and minds of this contemporaries, changed patterns of gift giving, and increasingly shaped the city to a Christian ideal.
