Aspects of secular travel in late antiquity -- pt. 2. Elite communication networks -- pt. 3. Reconsidering late antique pilgrimage. 330 $aTravel, 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. 606 $aChristian piligrims and pilgrimages$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aTravel$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aCommunication$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aCommunication$zRome$vCongresses 615 0$aChristian piligrims and pilgrimages 615 0$aTravel 615 0$aCommunication$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory 615 0$aCommunication 676 $a913 701 $aEllis$b Linda$01793113 701 $aKidner$b Frank$01869367 712 02$aSan Francisco State University. 712 12$aBiennial Conference on Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity$d(4th :$f2001 :$eSan Francisco State University) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974688703321 996 $aTravel, communication, and geography in late antiquity$94477522 997 $aUNINA
