"This research takes an integrative approach to the study of Hellenistic cult and
cultic practices in an important part of western Asia by employing a combination of
archaeological, numismatic and historical evidence. Although any thorough investigation
of Seleukid religion would prove illuminating in itself, this research uses religion
as a lens through which to explore the processes of acculturation and rejection within
a colonial context. It discusses the state attitude towards, and manipulation of,
both Hellenic and indigenous beliefs and places this within a framework developed
out of a series of case studies exploring evidence for religion at a regional level.
The study outlines the development of religious practices and expression in the region
which formed the birthplace of the modern world's three most influential monotheistic
religions."--Publisher's website
