A 'Near Eastern religion'; along the lines of 'Greek religion' or 'Roman religion'; is hard to distinguish for the Classical period; since the religious cultures of the many cities; villages and regions that constituted the Near East in the Hellenistic and Roman periods were; despite some obvious similarities; above all very different from each other. This collection of articles by scholars from different disciplines (Ancient History; Archaeology; Art-History; Epigraphy; Numismatics; Oriental Studies; Theology) contributes to our quest for understanding the polytheistic cults of the Near East as a whole by bringing out the variety between the different local and regional forms of worship in this part of the world.
