This volume brings together a series of chapters, mainly (but not only) from papers presented at the A Danubio ad Gothiam International Conference, organized in Lille, Villeneuve d’Ascq, and Bavay, by the DANUBIUS Project (University of Lille / HALMA-UMR 8164 Research Center), from the 24th to the 27th of November 2021. The aim of this meeting was to discuss the process of Christianization in the eastern part of the Roman Lower Danube, in comparison with a neighbouring region outside the Empire, which was then nicknamed Gothia, namely the north-west coast of the Black Sea with Crimea. The case studies presented here, some of which are based on new archaeological research, provide a better understanding of the spread of Christianity in one of the northern edges of the Roman world.
