This research takes an integrative approach to the study of
Hellenistic cult and cultic practices in an important part of
western Asia by employing a combination of archaeological,
numismatic and historical evidence. Although any thorough
investigation of Seleukid religion would prove illuminating in
itself, this research uses religion as a lens through which to
explore the processes of acculturation and rejection within a
colonial context. It discusses the state attitude towards, and
manipulation of, both Hellenic and indigenous beliefs and places
this within a framework developed out of a series of case studies
exploring evidence for religion at a regional level. The study
outlines the development of religious practices and expression in
the region which formed the birthplace of the modern world's three
most influential monotheistic religions.
