the discipline of Christian archaeology around the globe. Another aspect is supporting the next generation of researchers. The articles, written in German, English, French and Italian, are written by authors from around the world. Because of the topic of research, the regional focus is on the European and Mediterranean regions, but it is not limited to these areas. This time we start with two catacombs, the Generosa Catacomb in Rome and the complex of Wignacourt 17 (St Paul's Grotto Complex) in Rabat (Malta). The third contribution deals with archaeological evidence for the cult of relics in the Holy Land, the fourth with probably the oldest archaeologically verifiable diakonia in Ephesus. Then follow the two Pannonian saints (Quirinus and Martin) and their reception in Savaria/Szombathely and, as always, the bibliography on Late Antiquity and Christian Archaeology in Austria (with an appendix on Late Antique-Early Christian Ephesus).
