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).
