Abstract
The Roman empire contained not only a wealth of cities, territories and peoples within
its borders through history, but also a vast array of identities. No matter how extensive
the supposed impact of ‘Romanization’ across the Mediterranean and beyond, within the
confines of Rome’s borders lay cultural as much as natural barriers. Different challenges
were faced by inhabitants of Gaul compared to those living near the Danube, and
cultural changes occurred at varying rates across the empire, if indeed they occurred
along a similar path at all. Life in the city of Antioch-on-the-Orontes in Syria certainly
changed over time in part by way of political shifts and religious transformation.
