Nice, it's akin to having a team of researchers at the projects disposal-some jump on, others jump off, a few doggedly weave in and out with long hiatuses, returning with new vigor and having unlocked the secrets of the Bon faith in the meantime.
I've been studying the spread of Christianity and have found 363-527 to be somewhat of a gap, and this peer-reviewed process has led to some sources which fill in a fair bit of the picture-the Hellenic holdouts in Laconia, Vasconia, Sardinia etc
Is there a current religious map somewhere in the forum to make sure I'm not prodding outdated information? I'd love to find whoever designed the religious balance of Italy and find their sources-so far I've been unable to get an authoritative map aside from this (Which has been copied extensively in several languages) and this
There are a few discrepancies between what was Christianized and what wasn't, for example the French sources (Haven't been able to find the original, only several poorer quality copies) show a completely different spread of Christianity in Northern Gaul. The German maps show "Spread" rather than Dominance, while English-Language maps show dominance, parity and presence (Sometimes with percentages (Who knows where those came from)) yet tend to extend only to early Christianity and then dry up as soon as Constantine comes along. Has anyone got maps that deal with Christianity/Paganism in the 5th Century?
