At present, there is no scholarly consensus on the ecclesiastical organization in the Roman province of Scythia (4th-7th centuries). This volume proposes a new interpretation of some of the historical evidence concerning the evolution of the see of Tomi: a great metropolis, first with suffragan bishoprics outside Roman Scythia and then inside it, and later an autocephalous archbishopric.Though there are also many unclear aspects regarding the evolution of monastic life in the province, this book reveals that, in contrast with the development of the monastic infrastructure in Roman Scythia, a spiritual decline began in the mid-5th century.

Ionuț Holubeanu, Ph.D. (2004), Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, is an associate professor at the Ovidius University of Constanța. He has published monographs, translations and numerous articles on early Christianity in the Lower Danube regions, including Organizarea bisericească în Scythia și Moesia Secunda în secolele IV–VII [The Ecclesiastical Organization in Scythia and Moesia Secunda in the 4th–7th Centuries] (Basilica, 2018).

"In this meticulously researched and lucidly written account of Christianity in Roman Scythia, Holubeanu offers a fresh interpretation of the evolution of the bishopric of Tomi and monasticism spanning the fourth to seventh centuries. Holubeanu has provided us with what now stands as the most comprehensive English account of Christianity in Roman Scythia." – Matthew J. Pereira, in: Religious Studies Review, Volume 51, Issue 1 (March 2025), pp. 172-173
