Economy of the Sacred in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor (Hardcover)

Dr Dignas asks whether Greek religion really formed a fundamental contrast to modern forms of religion that enjoy or, at least, claim a separation of 'church and state'. With a focus on economic and administrative aspects of sanctuaries in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor she investigates the boundaries between the sacred and the profane in the ancient world and reveals the sanctuaries as entities with independent interests and powers.
