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 his contemporaries, changed patterns of

gift giving, and increasingly shaped the city to a Christian ideal.

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 re-

lation to the urban environment. through the archaeological remains, the

sermons of the city’s bishop, Chromatius, and the artwork and epigraphic ev-

idence 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 fifth 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. this volume is an invaluable resource not only for students of the early

Church, but also for those working on late antique urbanism and society.
