Mighty marble facades, sculptures and paintings played an important role in relation to these monuments. While the official temples, which were connected to the city or state, usually had a simple but solemn appearance, the more popular buildings were true multi-color expressions of religiosity. Scenes from the life of the revered deity, supporters and practitioners of the cult, or of plants and animals could carry visitors of the shrines away to different worlds. It is also striking to find in the vast Greco-Roman world that there are many similarities between often widely separated temples. The wall paintings were characterized by stylistic and taste changes, but they had the same look everywhere. Besides using archeological remains, this book also uses the texts of antiquity, whose descriptions of the monuments provide additional information. Amsterdam Archaeological Studies is a series devoted to the study of past human societies from the prehistory up into modern times, primarily based on the study of archaeological remains. The series will include excavation reports of modern fieldwork; studies of categories of material culture; and synthesising studies with broader images of past societies, thereby contributing to the theoretical and methodological debates in archaeology. 410 0$aAmsterdam archaeological studies ;$v16. 517 3 $aMural paintings in Greek and Roman sanctuaries 606 $aMural painting and decoration, Greek 606 $aMural painting and decoration, Roman 606 $aTemples$zGreece 606 $aTemples, Roman 606 $aShrines$zGreece 606 $aShrines$zRome 607 $aGreece$xReligion 607 $aRome$xReligion 615 0$aMural painting and decoration, Greek. 615 0$aMural painting and decoration, Roman. 615 0$aTemples 615 0$aTemples, Roman. 615 0$aShrines 615 0$aShrines 676 $a751.73093918 700 $aMoormann$b Eric M.$0207255 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790157903321 996 $aDivine interiors$93809267 997 $aUNINA
