RomanIslam - Center for Comparative Empire and Transcultural Studies

The Center for Advanced Study “RomanIslam – Center for Comparative Empire and Transcultural Studies,” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines working on Romanization and Islamication in Late Antiquity with a focus, though not exclusive, on the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa during the first millennium CE. The overall purpose of the Center is to explore new approaches to Romanization and Islamication in this period and set the scholarly debate on a new footing.
