Urban Representations of Religion

Edited by Jörg Rüpke, Katell Berthelot, Jan Dochhorn, Maren Niehoff, Rubina Raja, Christopher Smith, Chiara Ombretta Tommasi, Markus Vinzent and Annette Weissenrieder.

In this volume, five essays concern themselves with a set of issues pertaining to disentangling urban religion in urban settings through examining the representations of religion as a conscious strategy in cities of the Roman Empire. Representing religion in cities was a complex and multi-facetted affair. Each medium, the essays' authors maintain, be it architecture, art, coins, or pottery, must be studied within a contextualised framework - within its urban setting in order to be unfolded as holistically as possible. - Contents: Corinna Riva: Citizenship and Urban States in the First-Millennium-BCE Mediterranean.
