This interdisciplinary project explores historical perceptions of wellness of the human being held by Christians in late antique and medieval Eurasia. The research concerns Christians, especially Sogdian Christians, in Central Asia and China. Most of these Christians were associated with the Church of the East, based in Mesopotamia but also found throughout Asia. Members of this church were once renowned for their medical arts. These Christians also had various ties to the Roman world; indeed, beginning in the middle of the eighth century, East Syriac Christians in China even publicly associated themselves with the Chinese name Daqin, a vaguely and positively conceptualized Rome. For my fellowship in Rome, this project would focus on analyzing Christian material culture related to well being, particularly that of Roman bathhouses, to make careful comparisons with new finds from Central Asia and China.
