Late Antiquity Studies

Late Antiquity Studies is an academic field that explores the transformative period from approximately the third to the eighth centuries AD, marking the transition from the classical world to the medieval era. Scholars investigate the social, cultural, religious, and political changes during this time, focusing on the decline of the Roman Empire, the rise of Christianity, and the emergence of new societies. This interdisciplinary approach combines history, archaeology, literature, and art to understand how ancient traditions evolved and set the stage for modern European and Mediterranean cultures.
