XVII Congresso Internazionale di Archeologia Cristiana - 02-03-04-05-06/07/2018, Nijmegen (Netherlan
The 17th International Congress of Christian Archaeology will take place in the Netherlands, from July 2 – 6, 2018, and will be hosted jointly by Utrecht University and the Radboud University Nijmegen.
In keeping with the conference´s venue, namely at the very limes of the Roman Empire, its thematic focus will revolve around the question of boundaries, borders, borderlands, and transitional zones of the Later Roman World. The conference seeks to break new ground in this crucial area, in terms of content as well as methodology. In terms of geography and chronology, the emphasis is on the art, archaeology, and epigraphy of any border area of the later Roman world, including its European, North African, and Near Eastern provinces, up until the seventh century C.E.
