CONNEC provides data for the investigation of how a “universal” late antique church could be established against the background of the end of the Western Roman Empire, its political fragmentation and its division into smaller communities.

OpenAtlas, a database software developed at the ACDH, is used as a backend for recording, editing, and structuring the research data. The web application based on OpenAtlas makes it possible to explore the information freely accessible online. In addition, mapping, actor network visualizations, and results of the study are presented.
