Identity theories have emphasised that the construction of an identity follows abstract and universal processes but is also deeply grounded in specific cultural and material environments. This volume explores how groups in Late Antiquity rooted their identity in places that were imbued with meanings derived from history and tradition. Part I explores the tension between the Classical heritage in public, urban spaces and the Church's appropriation of that space. Parts II and III investigate how particular locations expressed, and formed, the theological and social identities of Christian and Jewish groups by bringing together fresh insights from the archaeological and textual evidence.
