  • Performing Justice in the Later Roman Empire

    de Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    In the Later Roman Empire (AD 300–650), power seems to manifest itself mostly through legislation, bureaucracy, and an increasingly distant emperor.

    de Hans Hauben, edited by Peter Van Nuffelen ...

  • One God

    Pagan Monotheism in the Roman Empire

    Edición de Stephen Mitchell, Peter Van Nuffelen ...
    Graeco-Roman religion in its classic form was polytheistic; on the other hand, monotheistic ideas enjoyed wide currency in ancient philosophy. This contradiction provides a challenge for our understanding of ancient pagan religion. Certain forms of cult activity, including acclamations of 'one god' and the worship of theos hypsistos, the highest god, have sometimes been interpreted as evidence for ... Leer más

    Philosophical Readings of Religion in the Post-Hellenistic Period

    de Peter van Nuffelen ...
    Series series Greek Culture in the Roman World
