201215860Franz Steiner Verlag. 2012. Softcover. Very Good. Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine.; Silvanus war einer der populärsten Götter in den Donauprovinzen. Er prägte das religiöse Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbevölkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten Städten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Phänomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erklärt. In Peripherie-Denken wird für diese Differenz eine neue Erklärung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begründung sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion für die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religiöse Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar es leistet auch einen Ansatz für eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge Pawb Band 35; 340 pages . 351509945X .

20061756Brill Academic Publishers. 2006. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Unwrapped in plastic.; Culture and History of the Ancient Near East; 11.25 x 1 x 8.5 Inches; 438 pages; This volume explores the Iron Age Phrygian rock-cut monuments in Anatolia and defines their role in religion. Among other features this book questions the traditional view of the Mother goddess Kybele being the only Phrygian deity. A detailed analysis based on the monuments provides new interpretations and aspects of Phrygian religion: the Mother goddess was not alone but rather accompanied by a Superior male god. For the first time all known Phrygian rock-cut monuments are brought together in the useful corpus with plenty of illustrations. It is a unique and significant contribution to the study of Phrygian religion and spatial conceptualization and is useful both for those interested in Anatolian culture and archaeology but also in fields such as classical religion and archaeology. . 9004152423 .

DJ has edgewear to top of spine.; 288 pages; Cult activity played an extremely important role in ancient Greece--to the point historians believe that the placing of cult centers played a major part in establishing the whole concept of the city-state in archaic Greece. The essays in this collection critically examine the social and political importance of sanctuary placement extending the analysis back to Mycenean Greece and on to Greece under Roman occupation. Revealing the complexity of relations between religion and politics in ancient Greece these essays show how important tradition gender relations and cult identity were in creating and maintaining the religious mapping of the ancient Greek countryside. . 0198149476 .

200738960Princeton University Press. 2007. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Some light shelfwear to DJ.; In this sumptuously illustrated book Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources inscriptions sculpture and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A. D. she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed the political power they wielded their systems of patronage and compensation and how they were honored including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.; 10.1 X 7.4 X 1.3 inches; 415 pages . 0691127468 . Princeton University Press hardcover

20061425Brill Academic Publishers. 2006. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. New in plastic wrapping; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World 157; 9 x 2.5 x 5 Inches; 447 pages; This study deals essentially with the knowledge of the Palestinian Rabbis concerning paganism in the days of Mishna and Talmud. The Late Professor Saul Lieberman wrote that "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic". This valuable and exhaustive study proves methodically that the Rabbis had deeper knowledge about Syrian Arabian Anatolian and Graeco-Roman Pagan cults than is commonly believed. Clear accessible and displaying considerable scholarship this work will undoubtedly provide an important challenge to both historians archaeologists and scholars of Rabbinic texts. Cette étude traite essentiellement du niveau de connaissances des Rabbins de Judée et de Galilée concernant les cultes païens dans le sens le plus large du terme. Le Professeur Saul Lieberman affirmait : "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic" Ce travail exhaustif à travers l’ensemble du corpus talmudique et au regard de la réalité historique propre à la Palestine romaine montre méthodiquement que les connaissances des Sages tant sur les divinités du paganisme que sur des rites syriens arabes anatoliens voire gréco-romains étaient bien plus vastes et approfondies que ce qu’il est communément admis aujourd’hui par la recherche historique. De part sa clareté et son accessibilité ce livre intéressera aussi bien les historiens du peuple juif que ceux des religions antiques. Les archéologues les historiens du Levant à l’époque romaine ainsi que les spécialistes de la littérature talmudique y trouveront également un vif intérêt en vertu de son aspect extrêmement novateur. . 9004146431 .
