Our volume, however, with its unique intercultural character and its explicit focus on appropriation and contestation of religious expertise in the Imperial Era is substantially different. Unlike the rather narrow focus of earlier studies of civic priests, the papers presented here examine a wider range of religious professionals, their dynamic interaction with established religious authorities and institutions, and their contributions to religious innovation in the ancient Mediterranean world, from the late Hellenistic period through to Late Antiquity, from the City of Rome to mainland Greece, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, from Greek civic practice to ancient Judaism. A further advantage of our volume is the wide range of media of transmission taken into account. Our contributors look at both old and new materials, which derive not only from literary sources but also from papyri, inscriptions, and material culture. Above all, this volume assesses critically convenient terminological usage and offers a unique insight into a rich gamut of ancient Mediterranean religious specialists. 410 0$aReligionsgeschichtliche Versuche und Vorarbeiten 606 $aAncient history: to c 500 CE$2bicssc 606 $aReligion & beliefs$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of religion$2bicssc 607 $aRome$xReligious life and customs 610 $aReligious specialists. 610 $aRoman empire. 610 $aimperial era. 610 $areligious innovation. 615 7$aAncient history: to c 500 CE 615 7$aReligion & beliefs 615 7$aHistory of religion 676 $a230 686 $aBE 7404$qDE-24/20sred$2rvk 700 $aGordon$b Richard L$4edt$0127163 702 $aGordon$b Richard L. 702 $aPetridou$b Georgia 702 $aRüpke$b Jörg 712 02$aEuropean Research Council (ERC)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220014903321 996 $aBeyond Priesthood$93584441 997 $aUNINA
