„Bajo las aguas del golfo de Nápoles en el antiguo Portus Iulius un equipo de arqueólogos submarinos ha concluido la excavación de un ambiente termal excepcionalmente conservado de uno de los enclaves más lujosos y decadentes del Imperio Romano, la antigua ciudad de Baiae (actual Bayas).“

We are particularly, but not exclusively, interested in how actors like bishops, clerics, monks and nuns, local administrators, state officials and landowners navigated the project to establish Christian orthodoxy on the ground. We propose a broad approach which encourages contributions that analyse administrative documents, ‘canon’, imperial or other legal and normative literature and juristic papyri, hagiographies, epistolography, narrative sources and epigraphic and archaeological evidence. How were doctrinal conflicts enmeshed within larger socioeconomic dynamics, i.e. of consumption, production and labour? How were economic or financial concerns deployed rhetorically in narratives attempting to establish or defend ‘orthodoxy’? How did the emergence, use and/or development of the concept of heresy affect relationships around ‘public’ or ‘private’ property, or vice versa? How did ecclesiastical and lay authorities approach questions regarding the administration of property in situations of doctrinal strife, to what ends and with what consequences? How did specific properties gain religious significance in these contexts, and how might this have affected economic relationships? How did the issues of property influence and were influenced by the questions of gender? We also welcome methodological or theoretical reflections on approaching the complex relationship between orthodoxy and economy in the late antique era. The resulting sessions will offer a space for discussion about the manifold unexplored economic dimensions of doctrinal conflict, orthodoxy and heresy in the late antique world. The sessions will have pre-circulated papers and we are aiming at publishing an open access special issue with the resulting articles. Please contact Dr Cinnamon Ducasse (cinnamon.ducasse@uni-erfurt.de) and Dr Mateusz Fafinski (mateusz.fafinski@uni-erfurt.de) with your proposed title and a short abstract (no more than 300 words) by 1st of September 2025.

It is this time of the year again! We are organising @imc-leeds.bsky.social sessions on orthodoxy and economy in late antiquity for the #IMC2026! Have a look at our CfP and come and join us next year!
