Bommas M., Harrisson J., Roy Ph. (Eds.). Memory and Urban Religion in the Ancient World. Bloomsbury Academic,2012. — 312 p.. 2012

The collection of articles presented here have been selected from papers given at the ‘Cultural Memory and Religion in the Ancient City' conference held at the University of Birmingham in July 2010 and organized by Juliette Harrisson and Phoebe Roy. This conference was attended by scholars and students from five continents who by engaging in vivid discussion contributed largely to the success of the event. Our deeply felt thanks go to all participants who attended the conference and enriched the atmosphere with their papers, statements and questions. This conference was generously supported by both the Roberts Fund of the University of Birmingham and the Institute of Classical Studies, and its Director, Mike Edwards. Without their support the conference would not have been made possible. Our thanks also go to the Head of School, Ken Dowden.
