Religious transformations in Boeotia in Late Antiquity, 3rd-7th centuries

      Religious transformations in Boeotia in Late Antiquity, 3rd-7th centuries (26/3/2012 v.1) Θρησκευτικές μεταβολές στη Βοιωτία κατά την Ύστερη Αρχαιότητα (3ος-7ος αι.) (3/4/2012 v.1)

The entry will examine the last manifestations of traditional cults in Boeotia (polytheism, paganism) and the implantation of Christianity.

Agriculture and pastoralism had been the base of medieval Boeotia's economy and prosperity, even above the lucrative silk-business, which the region was so famous for.
