Juan Antonio Jiménez Sánchez

A faculty member at the University of Barcelona and a member of the Late Antiquity Research Group (Grup de Recerques en Antiguitat Tardana-grat), Juan Antonio Jiménez Sánchez has chosen to concentrate his research work on the study of public entertainments during Late Antiquity, in particular on an analysis of the imperial monopoly of all ludic-type events in the Late Imperial Age and on the complex relationship between Christianity and the entertainments of the pagan Roman tradition. Another of his research interests is the study of lingering pagan presences in the Christian world in Late Antiquity and the civil and canonical legislation designed to put an end to residual idolatry and superstitious practices.
