(Re)shaping cultural landscapes along the borders of
the Roman Empire: the religious landscape of the Lower
Danube borderland (2nd – 3rd century AD)
The project looks into the dynamic
interplay between spatiality, sociality and religion, focusing on the Lower
Danube borderland during the period
when the river functioned as an internal border connecting the provinces Dacia, Moesia Superior and
Moesia Inferior. I inquire into the
communicative strategies of the
various local and trans-local actors, and outline the contexts, the
practices adopted and the means
mobilized in asserting and sustaining
individual and/or group religious options.

Classics are brought into dialogue
