This volume sheds new light on the significance and meaning of
material culture for the study of pilgrimage in the ancient world,
focusing in particular on Classical and Hellenistic Greece, the
Roman Empire and Late Antiquity. It thus discusses how
archaeological evidence can be used to advance our understanding of
ancient pilgrimage and ritual experience. The volume brings
together a group of scholars who explore some of the rich
archaeological evidence for sacred travel and movement, such as the
material footprint of different activities undertaken by pilgrims,
the spatial organization of sanctuaries and the wider catchment of
pilgrimage sites, as well as the relationship between architecture,
art and ritual. Contributions also tackle both methodological and
theoretical issues related to the study of pilgrimage, sacred
travel and other types of movement to, from and within sanctuaries
through case studies stretching from the first millennium BC to the
early medieval period.

Ascending and Descending the Acropolis - Mobility in Athenian
Religion provides new perspectives on religious mobilities within
the geographically limited region of Attica in Greece from the Late
Bronze Age to the second century AD. Attica is a particularly
fruitful region to study these forms of mobility, as it provides
rich evidence across a range of material and textual sources for a
variety of different mobile situations - both inside the city of
Athens itself (such as on and circumnavigating the Acropolis) and
to sanctuaries in its hinterland (such as Eleusis and Brauron), as
well to as more distant sanctuaries, such as Delphi.
