The study of Christian topography has become increasingly subtle in its appreciation of both textual and archaeological evidence. Despite this, the model established in the 1980s, of an intra-mural episcopal church and extra-mural cemetery churches, seems still to be valid. However, this picture remains provisional; it must not be assumed where evidence is poor. There remain many questions open to investigation. Excavations conducted to a high standard may go some way to resolving these. Nevertheless, urban data remains fragmentary, so historical discussions must remain at the level of models
