A goldmine of information on the religious practices and beliefs of ancient peoples, with sophisticated attention to sources, problems of research, material culture, and social and political setting. Readers glimpse the diverse ways in which some of our distant ancestors met the challenges of life and death.

Elizabeth A. Clark, Duke University

An essential reference for understanding the religious changes that took place across the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Near East concurrent with the rise of Christianity as well as the diverse local Judaisms, Christianities, and traditional cults that made up the religions of late antiquity. Salzman and Adler have commissioned a superb team of senior scholars, specialists in the periods and regions they cover, who are particularly attentive to historical nuance and material culture.
