Book Title:Memory and Urban Religion in the Ancient World

Memory and Urban Religion in the Ancient World by Dr Martin Bommas, Dr Juliette Harrisson, Phoebe Roy The role of memory in shaping religion in the ancient cities of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Memory and Urban Religion in the Ancient World brings together scholars and researchers working on memory and religion in ancient urban environments. Chapters explore topics relating to religious traditions and memory, and the multifunctional roles of architectural and geographical sites, mythical figures and events, literary works and artefacts. Pagan religions were often less static and more open to new influences than previously understood. One of the factors that shape religion is how fundamental elements are remembered as valuable and therefore preservable for future generations. Memory, therefore, plays a pivotal role when – as seen in ancient Rome during late antiquity – a shift of religions takes place within communities. The significance of memory in ancient societies and how it was promoted, prompted, contested and even destroyed is discussed in detail.This volume, the first of its kind, not only addresses the main cultures of the ancient world – Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome – but also look at urban religious culture and funerary belief, and how concepts of ethnic religion were adapted in new religious environments.
