This collection of articles by scholars from different disciplines (Ancient History, Archaeology, Art-History, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Oriental Studies, Theology) contributes to our quest for understanding the polytheistic cults of the Near East as a whole by bringing out the variety between the different local and regional forms of worship in this part of the world. 410 0$aReligions in the Graeco-Roman world ;$vv. 164. 607 $aMiddle East$xReligious life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a200.939/409014 701 $aKaizer$b Ted$0486416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455278203321 996 $aThe variety of local religious life in the Near East in the Hellenistic and Roman periods$91942229 997 $aUNINA
