Sommario/riassunto

'Social Conflict in the Age of Justinian' explores a range of often violent conflicts across the whole empire during AD 527-565. These conflicts were reflected at the ideological level and lead to intense persecution of



intellectuals and Pagans as an ever more robust Christian ideological hegemony was established.
