The study of material culture has helped create a common meeting
ground for scholars seeking to integrate images, sites, texts and
implements in their approach to religion in the ancient
Mediterranean. This book explores the productivity of these
approaches, with case studies from Israel, Athens, Rome, Sicily and
North Africa. The results foreground the capacity of material
approaches to cast light on the cultural creation of the sacred
through the integration of rhetorical, material, and iconographic
means. The discussion opens more nuanced pathways to the uses of
text in the study of material evidence, and highlights the
potential for material objects to bring political and ethnic
boundaries into the sacred realm.
