Urban Religion is an emerging research field cutting across various
social science disciplines, all of them dealing with “lived religion” in
contemporary and (mainly) global cities. It describes the reciprocal
formation and mutual influence of religion and urbanity in both their
material and ideational dimensions. However, this approach, if duly
historicized, can be also fruitfully applied to antiquity.
Aim
of the volume is the analysis of the entanglement of religious
communication and city life during an arc of time that is characterised
by dramatic and even contradicting developments. Bringing together
textual analyses and archaelogical case studies in a comparative
perspective, the volume zooms in on the historical context of the
advanced imperial and late antique Mediterranean space (2nd–8th
centuries CE).
