The nineteen chapters are divided into three groups: the ancient Near East, Greece, and Rome. They are presented in turn and all possible aspects of warfare and its religious connections are investigated. The contributors focus on the theology of war, the role of priests in warfare, natural phenomena as signs for military activity, cruelty, piety, the divinity of humans in specific martial cases, rituals of war, iconographical representations and symbols of war, and even the archaeology of war. As editor Krzysztof Ulanowski invited both well-known specialists such as Robert Parker, Nicholas Sekunda, and Pietro Mander to contribute, as well as many young, talented scholars with fresh ideas. From this polyphony of voices, perspectives and opinions emerges a diverse, but coherent, representation of the complex relationship between religion and war in antiquity. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vVolume 84. 410 0$aAncient warfare ;$vVolume 1. 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects 607 $aMiddle East 607 $aGreece 607 $aRome 615 0$aWar$xReligious aspects. 676 $a201/.7273093 702 $aUlanowski$b Krzysztof 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798586803321 996 $aThe religious aspects of war in the ancient near East, Greece, and Rome$93839297 997 $aUNINA
