Aspects of secular travel in late antiquity -- pt. 2. Elite communication networks -- pt. 3. Reconsidering late antique pilgrimage.Travel, Communication and Geography in Late Antiquity brings together a set of papers that consider anew issues of travel, communication and landscape in Late Antiquity. This period witnessed an increase in long-distance travel and the construction of large new inter-provincial communications networks. The Christian Church's expansion is but one example of both phenomena. The contributions here present readers with new research on the explosion in travel and large-scale communication, and the effect on this of different geographical possibilities and limitations. The papers deal with a variety of travel experiences (religious pilgrimages; travel for work and educational purposes; journeys of the soul) and writings about travel; they look at various kinds of communication (ecclesiastical communication; communication for commerce; and the communication of religious identity); and they examine both physical and psychological aspects of geography, travel and communication.Christian piligrims and pilgrimagesRomeCongressesTravelRomeCongressesCommunicationReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryCongressesCommunicationRomeCongressesChristian piligrims and pilgrimagesTravelCommunicationReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryCommunication913Ellis Linda1793113Kidner Frank1869367San Francisco State University.Biennial Conference on Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity(4th :2001 :San Francisco State University)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974688703321Travel, communication, and geography in late antiquity4477522UNINA
