In this innovative study, Anna Collar explores both how this happened and why. Drawing on research in the sociology and anthropology of religion, physics and computer science, Collar explores the relationship between social networks and religious transmission to explore why some religious movements succeed, while others, seemingly equally successful at a certain time, ultimately fail. Using extensive epigraphic data, Collar provides new interpretations of the diffusion of ideas across the social networks of the Jewish Diaspora and the cults of Jupiter Dolichenus and Theos Hypsistos, and in turn offers important reappraisals of the spread of religious innovations in the Roman Empire. This study will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of ancient history, archaeology, ancient religion and network theory. 606 $aSocial networks$zRome 606 $aReligion and sociology$zRome 607 $aRome$xReligion 615 0$aSocial networks 615 0$aReligion and sociology 676 $a200.937 700 $aCollar$b Anna$f1979-$01035712 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463969203321 996 $aReligious networks in the Roman empire$92455556 997 $aUNINA
