 ___\n\nAbstract\n\nMy project is about metaphors of conversion in Latin La
 te Antiquity (mid-3rd to mid-6th century AD). It understands 'conversion' 
 as the religiously interpreted process of holistic reorientation („relig
 iös gedeuteter Prozess ganzheitlicher Umorientierung“\, Bischofberger [
 1998] 1228) of an individual\, which is expressed in conversion to another
  conception of god(s) (e.g. Paganism\, Manichaeism\, Christianity\, New Pl
 atonism)\, an interreligious grouping (e.g. Valentinianism\, Gnosticism\, 
 Montanism)\, a (more radical) religious way of life such as (desert) ascet
 icism or consecration to virginity\, or a change of life brought about by 
 repentance. Metaphors are thereby examined as elementary components of the
  linguistic toolkit for communicating ideas of conversion. In this present
 ation\, I will share some of my current reflections: I will single out two
  source domains\, seafaring and childbirth\, and offer reflections on thei
 r literary use. These examples will lead to some broader questions regardi
 ng theoretical and methodological issues in historical metaphor theory.\n\
