AHPG833: Religious Change in the Roman Empire |
The conversion of the Empire to Christianity brought about profound changes. This unit explores the way in which these changes affected the lives of a number of prominent figures: the Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena, the Desert Fathers (Antony and Pachomius), Libanius of Antioch-a liberal pagan who refused to change with the times-and Augustine of Hippo whose richly documented conversion had a profound effect on Christian culture. The unit will give enough scope for in-depth studies of all these key historical figures.
