• Sommario/riassunto: This title focuses primarily on the end of the pagan religious tradition and the dismantling of its material form in North Africa from the 4th to the 6th centuries AD. Anna Leone considers how urban communities changed, why some traditions were lost and some others continued, and whether these carried the same value and meaning upon doing so.
