The fellowship deals with imperial Rome in the 3rd century and thus with a phase in which it is possible to observe how an increasingly monotheistic religion with universal claims established itself in a world in which the coexistence of different religions appeared to be a matter of course. The first persecutions of Christians took place during this period, and Christians also put forward arguments that play a major role in the history of the idea of tolerance. The Christians&#8217; fight for their religious freedom was of great importance for later justification narratives of tolerance. For a time, allowing the worship of many gods was an important justification for imperial rule in a religiously diverse empire. What favored this new form of justification through religious pluralism and why did this phase end so quickly? These and other questions will be discussed in this research project.       <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Events:<\/strong><br\/><em>Seminar with Prof. Dr. Hartmut Leppin<\/em>, 15 July 2015, 3 p.m.<em><br\/><\/em>Tolerance in Antiquity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor at the Department of Classics, History and Law at the University of Chicago Research project:Tolerance in Roman antiquity Research project:To what extent can we speak of tolerance and religious [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1709,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"position":[213],"institute":[],"class_list":["post-8181","member","type-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","position-former-fellow"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member\/8181"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=8181"},{"taxonomy":"institute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/institute?post=8181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
