Devotion to Artemis dominated the religious culture of ancient Ephesos. But she was not alone. The city of Ephesos and its environs offered a rich panoply of religious options, domestic and public. Structures, statutes, coins, inscriptions, and texts testify to the remarkable diversity of religious ideas and practices in Ephesos. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Jewish religious traditions found loyal adherents among residents and visitors. Gods, goddesses, heroes, and emperors were worshipped. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that ancient Ephesos was a vibrant and competitive religious environment.

Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de combler une lacune qui devient de plus en plus évidente : l'étude de l'Asie Mineure au ive siècle a.C. n'a donné lieu à aucun ouvrage de synthèse depuis W. Judeich, Kleinasiatische Studien 1892. Dans un premier ensemble de chapitres sont analysés les rouages de l'administration perse en Anatolie : le système satrapique, ses subdivisions et l'histoire de son évolution depuis sa création. Dans une deuxième partie, c'est l'histoire politique que l'on s'efforce de reconstituer malgré les zones d'ombre inévitables pour toute histoire régionale. À cet effet est mis en œuvre l'ensemble des sources disponibles : œuvres littéraires d'Hérodote à Strabon, mais aussi données archéologiques, inscriptions et monnaies, qui permettent de renouveler complètement certaines questions. La « grande » révolte des satrapes de 362 et l'anabase d'Alexandre donnent l'occasion de dresser un tableau régional visant à monter la diversité des situations qui caractérise bien l'Anatolie, carrefour de peuples et de civilisations. This study aims to fill a gap which has become more and more obvious: the study of Asia Minor in the fourth century BC has not seen a work of synthesis since W. Judeich, Kleinasiatische Studien, 1892. The first set of chapters analyzes the machinery of Persian administration in Anatolia: the satrapal system, its subdivisions, and the history of its evolution from its foundation. The second part attempts to reconstruct political history, despite the inevitable obscurities in any regional history. All available sources are put to work in this effort: literary works from Herodotos to Strabo, archaeological evidence, inscriptions, and coins, which sometimes allow a complete reexamination of certain questions. The “great” revolt of the satraps of 362 and the expedition of Alexander provide the opportunity to construct a regional picture which aspires to show the diversity that characterizes Anatolia, crossroads of peoples and…

This book provides a detailed insight into the typology, characteristics and conceptual and iconographic elements of the solar and lunar divinities of Asia Minor. It has a special focus on native or indigenised cults. Furthermore, Anatolian divinities are studied not only in the Roman, but also during the incipient phases of these cults. The main topics include issues of polymorphism, polyonymy and the specific cultural adaptations of the Anatolian deities, the world of the gods, that of mortals and the relations between dedicators and divinities. The first part studies the origin of the name and of the divinity, an attempt to determine the area of dessemination, epithets, attributes, identifications with other gods, myths and the associated divinities, as well as symbolism and iconographical elements. The second part features the economic life of the temples, the organisation of the sacred space, the nature of the priesthood and the categories of dedicators, association patterns, age and kinship, and the alterations that occurred during this period in the perception of the divine world both in the Anatolian area and throughout the Roman empire. In the last part of the volume the reader can find useful information regarding the typology of inscriptions used by the author and the means of communication between the divine world and the terrestrial one.

Publisher's description: "Religions" are always costly - one has to give offerings (with material value) to the gods, one has to provide the salary for religious specialists who offer their service for their clients, one has to arrange festivals and liturgies - and of course, one has to provide the material means for building temples or shrines. But these costs also repay - as the gods give health or well-being as reward for the offerings. Even if one can never be absolutely certain about such a reward, one at least might earn social reputation because of one's (financial) involvement in religion. But temples are also economic centres - "employing" (often in close relation to the palace) people as workers, craftsmen or "intellectuals" in different positions whose "costs of living" are supplied by the temple. Individual religious specialists receive payment for their service to cover their own costs of living. Although this might sound "modern", religion and economy were intertwined with each other in ancient society also. For this reason, the papers of this conference volume analyse and discuss how the cults, rituals and institutions in Anatolia in the 2nd and 1st millennium contribute to the economic process in those areas.
