| Title | Extramural Churches in Late Antiquity: Revisiting the Case of the Cemetery Basilica at Stobi, Macedonia |
| Summary | Studies on Late Antiquity are focused on questions of transformation, continuity and decline, especially with regards to urban and rural landscape development. However, a crucial element of the landscape remains understudied: extramural churches. This thesis explores the role of extramural churches in the late antique landscape through the case study of the Cemetery Basilica at Stobi, Macedonia. It provides an updated understanding of the Cemetery Basilica and then examines the church in context, discussing its relationships with the city of Stobi and comparing it to other extramural churches in the region. The results of this exploration question previous assumptions about the function of the Cemetery Basilica and extramural churches throughout the region. It also demonstrates the need for further comprehensive study of extramural churches in late antique Macedonia and throughout the Mediterranean. |
