Cultic Graffiti in the Late Antique Mediterranean and Beyond

The book collects thirteen papers (by authors from Belgium, Greece, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, UK, and USA), result of a re-elaboration of lectures presented in occasion of an international conference about the devotional and cultic graffiti in Late Antiquity, held in Bari at the end of September 2017. The volume was the result of a strong collaboration between the European Research Council Project "Cult of Saints in Late Antiquity" (based primarily at Oxford University), and the Università Aldo Moro of Bari, home of the Epigraphic Database Bari Project (www.edb.uniba.it), that presents online the over 40,000 Christian inscriptions surviving from the third to seventh century in the city of Rome, around a thousand of which are graffiti.
