1. 1. City Of Demons

   Violence, Ritual, and Christian Power in Late Antiquity

   

   A study of late antique urban life in the eastern Mediterranean, showing how Christian leaders mobilized demonology, exorcistic ritual, and public processions to recast civic crises as spiritual warfare, reshape sacred topographies, and consolidate ecclesiastical power. Drawing on sermons, hagiography, and legal texts, it traces how narratives of demonic threat and ritualized violence transformed theaters, shrines, and streets into contested spaces of Christian authority.
