The Material Dynamics of Festivals in the Graeco-Roman East

Beschreibung

Much of our knowledge of civic festivals in the Graeco-Roman East comes from material culture--inscriptions, coins, architecture, and art-works. This volume draws attention to the choices made on what to record (and where, and how) in a variety of different forms of material culture relating to Greek festivals from the Hellenistic to Roman periods.
