| Résumé: | The paper examines the confrontation of pagans and christians in the fourth century Antioch looking to the concept of "spatial rhetoric", regarded as a flexible term that enables us to study in greater detail those uses of rhetoric pertaining to the dispute over religious and public spaces. The contribution approaches therefore the Antiochien debates through the lens of rhetoric by assimilating and attaching rhetoric and its content to the civic and urban spaces with the intention of christianizing or paganizing the public spaces. Rhetoric was at the service of non-literary purposes as it helped to construct narratives in which religion was the issue at stake. Therefore, the fact that Libanius and John Chrysostom rearranged the religious topography of Antioch by putting their rhetorical prowess at the service of a type of architecture replete with religious implications is part of a wider picture in which rhetoric and interpretations of the urban landscape have became intertwined.
