Comparison in Ethnographic Thinking in Antiquity: The Roman Period up to the Late antiquity (1st–7th century AD) (D01 [B04])

该分项目正在调查比较民族志实践从公元1世纪到古代晚期和拜占庭时期（公元7世纪）是如何发展的，以及它们如何对新的宏观和宗教政治变化（罗马帝国的巩固和基督教的传播）作出反应。正在特别注意形成新的实践社区及其在传播和进一步发展人种学模式方面的作用。重点是罗马和早期拜占庭历史学家以及基督教作家的散文（教会历史，Hagiography）。

The subproject is investigating how comparative ethnographic practices developed from the 1st century AD to Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period (7th century AD) and how they reacted to the new macro- and religious-political changes (consolidation of the Imperium Romanum and spread of Christianity). Particular attention is being paid to the formation of new communities of practice and their role in the transmission and further development of ethnographic models. The focus is on prose by Roman and early Byzantine historians as well as Christian authors (church history, Hagiography).
