The first three centuries AD saw the spread of new religious ideas
through the Roman Empire, crossing a vast and diverse geographical,
social and cultural space. In this innovative study, Anna Collar
explores both how this happened and why. Drawing on research in the
sociology and anthropology of religion, physics and computer
science, Collar explores the relationship between social networks
and religious transmission to explore why some religious movements
succeed, while others, seemingly equally successful at a certain
time, ultimately fail. Using extensive epigraphic data, Collar
provides new interpretations of the diffusion of ideas across the
social networks of the Jewish Diaspora and the cults of Jupiter
Dolichenus and Theos Hypsistos, and in turn offers important
reappraisals of the spread of religious innovations in the Roman
Empire. This study will be a valuable resource for students and
scholars of ancient history, archaeology, ancient religion and
network theory.
