 Final Symposium of the ANR-funded phase of the DANUBIUS Project


On the 28th and 29th of November 2022, the final symposium of the ANR (French National Research Agency)-funded phase of the DANUBIUS Project of the University of Lille and HALMA-UMR 8164 Research Centre (Univ. Lille, CNRS, French Ministry of Culture) will be organised in Rome (Italy) and online, in collaboration with the École française de Rome, the Accademia di Romania in Rome and the Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana, with the additional support from the HAEMUS International Research Network (“Internationalisation" programme of the University of Lille) and the Université du Québec à Rimouski (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada).

  • Dates: Monday, 28 November & Tuesday, 29 November 2022
  • Location: Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana and Accademia di Romania in Roma (Italy) / and online

The DANUBIUS project intends to study the Christianisation of the Lower Danube over a very long period, between the 3rd and the 8th centuries AD. That research topic has not resulted in any complete synthesis since Jacques Zeiller’sLes origines chrétiennes dans les provinces danubiennes de l’Empire romain (Paris, 1918). This project – which is the first stage of a long-term international and interdisciplinary research program – is thus reconsidering the question in the light of the scientific advances made in the last hundred years, both in terms of history and archaeology, for a better understanding of the simultaneous evolution of its ecclesiastical organisation and Christian topography. To begin with, it will focus more on the last reaches of the Danube to be lost by Constantinople, which is also the part of the river which is best documented from literary sources,viz. the Lower Danube (the Late Roman provinces of Dacia Ripensis, Moesia Secunda and Scythia). To do so, it will develop a geographic information system (GIS) model of the episcopal sees and other Christian sites, structured around three work packages (WP). The first WP foresees is the compilation of a database of the written and material evidence of Christianisation. The second WP is planned around the archaeological explorations of a little-known Late Roman site,viz. Zaldapa (Krushari, Bulgaria), which may be unique in being the only episcopal see of the region planted in an agglomeration that predates the Romans. The third WP, proceeding from a part of the documentation collected in the other two, intends to offer a prosopography as the first step towards the publication of the Balkan volumes of theProsopographie chrétienne du Bas-Empire (PCBE) series. Globally, this collection of data and case studies will be the laboratory for innovative conceptual tools and a new synthesis.
