What did people in the early Christian period think about the pagan inscriptions filling their late antique cities? Like public advertisements lining our streets today, these inscriptions were everywhere and communicated specific messages to literate late Roman viewers, often providing a very different view of the classical past than that being preached from early Christian church pulpits. In Pagan Inscriptions, Christian Viewers, Anna M. Sitz provides a fresh perspective on the Christianization of the Roman empire from the fourth to the seventh century CE by analyzing a previously overlooked body of evidence: the many ancient, pagan inscriptions, written in Greek or other languages, which were reused, preserved, or even partially erased in this period.This volume brings together for the first time the literary and archaeological evidence for attitudes towards these ancient inscriptions in the eastern Mediterranean, from Greece to Asia Minor, Syria to Egypt. Pagan Inscriptions, Christian Viewers illustrates how early Christians, late pagans, and Jews in the eastern Mediterranean interpreted older inscriptions in Greek and other languages through their own worldviews in order to build the late antique present.

Essays in Long Late Antiquity (ELLA) is a newly-created Open Access, peer-reviewed journal positioned in the field of first millennium studies, a research framework that has gained momentum in recent years. The journal moves away from a Western European periodization of late antiquity in order to entice interdisciplinary and superregional approaches. Therefore, the journal is open to submissions dealing with circa the second to the ninth centuries (ca. 100 – 800 CE) and the broader Afro-Eurasian region, taking a stand against disciplinary siloing and recognizing increasing interconnectivity in this period. Submissions dealing with individual periods and places within this wider geographic and temporal scope are also welcome.ELLA acts as a place of publication for those in history, archaeology, art history, religious studies, and philology. It fosters exchange between researchers often separated by disciplinary boundaries, offering them the chance to publish shorter essays and translations of late antique sources alongside traditional journal articles.ELLAis an Open Access journal published by LUP's Journals department.
