    The movie Agora depicts the escalating conflict between Christians and pagans in Roman Alexandria in the late fourth century under the emperor Theodosius I.

Mitchell describes the parabalani as “supposedly teams of paramedics, who were organized into a virtual regiment of vigilantes,” under the direct control of Cyril to enforce his will with brutality (Mitchell 298).…
