Cities, Resources and Religion – Economic Implications of Religion in Graeco-Roman Urban Environments

Panel 7.7

Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World: Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, Cologne/Bonn 2018

City and religion as subjects of archaeological research in the Mediterranean are often limited to sacred buildings within the spatial and social fabric of the city. However, specific urban factors such as the concentration of economic potential, control of financial resources, but also heterogeneous populations, marginalization, and power imbalances impact religious practices and their reflections in material culture.
The contributions in this volume discuss how economic characteristics of urbanity are reflected in institutional, medial, and performative expressions of religion(s) in cities of Italy and Asia Minor. These interactions are not only of interest for Greco-Roman antiquity, but are relevant in our modern world of globalized markets: With the concentration of economic power the potential for tensions and religious conflicts increases as rapidly as cities grow.

Anna-Katharina Rieger is a classical archaeologist with a research focus on Roman urbanism and religion, material and visual culture of Roman Italy and the Near East, landscape archaeology, archaeology of arid regions and of mobility.

Hanna (Johanna) Stöger was a classical archaeologist with main areas of interest in Roman architecture and urbanism and the social organisation of spaces and computer-aided methods. Her research focused on Roman Italy (Ostia) and early Greek archaeology.
