This series Religions in the Graeco-Roman World presents a forum for studies in the social and cul-
tural function of religions in the Greek and the Roman world, dealing with pagan religions both in
their own right and in their interaction with and influence on Christianity and Judaism during a
lengthy period of fundamental change. Special attention will be given to the religious history of regions
and cities which illustrate the practical workings of these processes.
This book is printed on acid-free paper.
