Abstract

This book brings together the papers presented at the Conference held in Messina at the Department of Ancient and Modern Civilisations on 29 and 30 October 2014 in memory of Vincenzo Aiello. On this occasion, scholars of various nationalities and scientific backgrounds remembered the young colleague who died prematurely with contributions on topics particularly close to him. The papers were divided into two sections: the first on the figure of Constantine, his Fortleben and the political and religious dynamics of the 4th century; the second on the impact of the presence of the Vandals in the Mediterranean basin in the 5th century and the new political geography determined by the conquest of Africa. The collected essays offer original contributions to the archaeological, numismatic, historical-institutional, historical-religious, juridical and economic issues of the periods in question, and contribute to a richer picture in terms of ideas and results for future research in these fields.
