Scholars of Late Antiquity

Scholars of Late Antiquity refers to a group of historians and researchers who study the period roughly from the 3rd to the 8th century AD, when the Roman Empire was in decline and significant cultural, religious, and political changes occurred. This era saw the rise of Christianity, the transformation of ancient cities, and the beginnings of medieval society. Late Antiquity is crucial for understanding the transition between ancient and medieval worlds, as well as the development of early Christian thought, the Byzantine Empire, and the spread of various cultures across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
