Cultural records such as dedications, honorific statues and decrees
are keys to understanding the manifold and diverse social roles and
religious functions of priesthoods in the cities of Asia Minor and
the Aegean islands from the classical period to late antiquity.
These texts and images indicate how the priests and priestesses saw
themselves and were viewed by others. The approaches in this volume
are historical, religious, and archaeological, and they elucidate
the religious functions that the cult personnel fulfilled for the
city, and the perception of priests and priestesses as citizens of
the polis. The volume focuses on developments from the Hellenistic
period into Imperial times. Subjects include: gendered priesthoods
and family traditions, the topography of honorary statues and the
presentation of funerary monuments, federal and civic priesthoods
as well as priests of private cult-foundations, benefactions and
social pressure, and the religious, social and political functions
of priests and priestesses within cities.
