Quote:All this would actually tend to suggest that there was more archaeological evidence for christianity in the South West of 4th/5th c. Britain than in the South East! ... I could tell you where it is, but then, as they say, 'I'd have to kill you'! (says he, fingering the hilt of his spatha) laughing
Hi Ambrosius,
Your spatha can remained sheathed
Von Kalben is not suggesting that no christianised families existed at all, but that Christianity in the south west wasn't widespread amongst the population. The evidence presented is in the number of christian graveyards or christian burials in mixed graveyards that have been found.
