Full Description

The authors of this volume explore the variety of religious responses to political, social, textual and ritual changes that occurred in the late antique Eastern Mediterranean. The volume addresses the issue of "coping with religious change" from the multiple perspectives of archaeology, art history, epigraphy, textual analysis, and papyrology. How did religious subjects adapt to the Hellenization and Romanization of Judea and Asia Minor, the Christianization of the Roman Empire, and the Islamic conquest of Palestine, Egypt and North Africa? When changes happened to their societies, how much did late antique subjects borrow from the new cultural environment? This volume will fill a gap in contemporary historical debates on how to conceptualize change in late antique religions. In doing so, it recreates a dynamic image of the Roman world in late antiquity, a world which adopted changes and adapted to new political, social, and religious situations.
