Opis

This original study challenges the idea that sanctuaries in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor were fully institutionalized within the poleis that hosted them. Examining the forms of interaction between rulers, cities, and sanctuaries, the book proposes a triangular relationship in which the rulers often acted as mediators between differing interests of city and cult.

Recenzje

... accomplished ... written in a confident style ... accompanied by two helpful indices ... [Dignas] has put important new questions and instructions on the agenda which deserve to be fully absorbed.
