Subversions, Conversions, and Mutations in the Postclassical World (3rd-8th c.) that took place last autumn in Brno, Czech Republic. Its aim is to contribute to the rehabilitation of the period of Late Antiquity , which has often been neglected in scholarly circles as a mere transitional period between the classical past and the medieval future.
