Chromatius of Aquileia and the Making of a Christian City is a welcome and refreshing departure from the usual type of publication on social and religious transformations in the fourth century. By placing Chromatius and his rhetorical constructs at the centre, a colourful and gripping study of Aquileia and its inhabitants is born. This is indeed a thrilling tale of a bishop with a mission. The author narrates with originality and verve how Chromatius conquered the hearts and minds of this contemporaries, changed patterns of gift giving, and increasingly shaped the city to a Christian ideal. - Dr Ine Jacobs, The Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, Oxford University, UK
