“…Iako se kao termin koristi već više od 120 godina, period kasne antike još uvek nije jasno hronološki omeđen, već je tema debate u koju je uključen veliki broj arheologa, istoričara i istoričara umetnosti (Janković 2021, 165). Do danas je nejasno kada počinje i kada se završava, s obzirom na to da se za početak uzimaju različiti događaji poput Karakalinog edikta o građanskim pravima iz 212. godine (Beard 2015), početka tzv. krize trećeg veka (Mirković 2007), dinastije Severa (Gibbon 2006) ili početka tetrarhije (Mitchel 2015).…”

Traditionally, the necropolises of the 4th century have been considered in the framework of the spread of Christianity, conceived as a linear progression. The research into the necropolises of this period is predominantly based upon the premise that the earliest Christian burials are “poor”, so consequently the lack of grave offerings has often been identified as the indicator of Christianity. From this starting point, the research goals have almost always been identified in terms of determination of religious character of the necropolises, i. e. whether they were Christian or pagan. This text therefore aims to question this firmly held belief that the economic status of the individuals buried in the 4th century in the territory of Serbia may be equated to their religious (Christian) identity. The premise which equates the absence of certain artefacts as the proof the presence of religious ideas is problematic, especially since the graves with “rich” offerings were registered during this period, some of them plausibly identified as burials of the Christians. Furthermore, this premise severely limits the issues that can be raised, and the paper proposes the move from the perpetual goal to identify individual graves as Christian or pagan. It is argued here that this period is characterized by frequent and important political, economic, social, and religious changes. If we move from the assumption that the religious identity of individuals (and necropolises) can be ascribed in a straightforward manner, the burials of this period can offer valuable insight into the lives of people who were not subsumed to their religious affiliation, or at least not in the way we ascribe to them.

The UK Government's Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill is currently progressing through Parliament. The bill is designed to strengthen free speech and academic freedom in higher education, in response to what former Education Secretary Gavin Williamson describes as ‘the rise of intolerance and cancel culture upon our campuses’. But is there really a crisis of academic freedom in British universities? To see that there is, say Judith Suissa and Alice Sullivan, we need only look at the contemporary reality of suppression of debate on sex and gender. The evidence they catalogue of supression of research, of blacklisting, harassment and smear campaigns, of no‐platforming, disinvitations and shutting down of events, is incontrovertible. The recent experience of scholars and students wishing to discuss the material reality and political salience of sex makes complacency about academic freedom a luxury we cannot afford. Suissa and Sullivan set out a powerful argument for the role of academic freedom in pursuing truth within the academy and developing democracy beyond it. They effectively counter attempts to narrow the scope of academic freedom so as to render it compatible with no‐platforming. And they lay out a series of practical steps administrators can take to ensure that universities are places where an expansive and pluralistic intellectual climate prevails. This is a timely and compelling intervention in a vexed but urgent public debate. For their clear‐sighted diagnosis of where and how academic freedom has been eroded in our universities, and for their judicious account of what must be done to rebuild it, Suissa and Sullivan deserve a wide and attentive hearing.
