<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This seminar will discuss the new approach suggested by Jörg Rüpke for the study of ancient religion, as presented in his most recent publication Urban Religion. A Historical Approach to Urban Growth and Religious Change
(De Gruyter, 2020). The key concept in Rüpke's previous EU-project, the 'Lived Ancient Religion' approach (2012-2017), became a widely accepted tool for modern research of ancient religion. In his new book, Rüpke now emphasizes the central role of a city as
the driving force of religious change. In the seminar, this new approach of urbanising and urbanised religion is discussed in the context of Ostia Antica. Can we apply this approach for the study of Early Christianity in Ostia Antica?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
