Product Description
Travel, Communication and Geography in Late Antiquity brings together a set of papers that consider new issues of travel, communication and landscape in Late Antiquity. This period witnessed an increase in long-distance travel and the construction of large new inter-provincial communications networks. The Christian Church’s expansion is but one example of both phenomena.
The contributions here present readers with new research on the explosion in travel and large-scale communication, and the effect on this of different geographical possibilities and limitations. The papers deal with a variety of travel experiences (religious pilgrimages; travel for work and educational purposes; journeys of the soul) and writings about travel. They look at various kinds of communication (ecclesiastical communication; communication for commerce; and the communication of religious identity) and they examine both physical and psychological aspects of geography, travel and communication.
