How Special is Late Ancient Christian Sirmium? Considerations on the Basis of the Fourth century Sirmium appears on the map of the Roman Empire as capital of Pannonia Secunda, Passio Sereni (BHL 7595-6) as a residence of emperors and praetorian prefects, and not in the least as a see occupied by bishops Levente Nagy (University of Pécs) with disputed theological convictions. All these factors left their imprint both on late antique Christian Evil Demons in Pannonian Passion Narratives history and theology as well as on the local Christian community. But who were the Christians of late antique Sirmium? What were their beliefs, practices and devotions? How were they affected by the 12:30 ± 13:30 Buffet lunch tumultuous events of that time and region? The workshop aims to explore these phenomena by convening experts from the field of archaeology, 13:30 ± 14:45 Session 3 ancient history, Patristics and hagiography. It will also investigate possibilities of setting up an Marijana Vukovic (University of Warsaw) informal Network of Late Antique Pannonian Studies that will facilitate scholarly communication The Martyrdom of Irenaeus of Sirmium in Different Languages: Rewriting the Identity across academic and cultural institutions involved in research on Christian Pannonia. We hope that of a Sirmian Martyr both the workshop and the network will serve as incentives for future innovative research on the Christian origins of the Middle Danube region.
