This broad chronological and geographical canvas demonstrates how our modern concepts of religion and economy were entangled in the ancient world. By taking material culture as a starting point, the volume examines the ways that landscapes, architecture, and objects shaped the pilgrim’s experiences, and the manifold ways in which economy, belief and ritual behaviour intertwined, specifically through the processes and practices that were part of ancient Mediterranean pilgrimage over the course of more than 1,500 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Author Biographies  List of Illustrations  Abbreviations    1 Embedded Economies of Ancient Mediterranean Pilgrimage   Anna Collar and Troels Myrup Kristensen    part 1: Movements  2 Movement, Labour and Devotion: a Virtual Walk to the Sanctuary  at Mount Kasios   Anna Collar    3 Braided Networks: Pilgrimage and the Economics of Travel Infrastructure in the Late Antique Holy Land   Marlena Whiting    part 2: Communities  4 Gathering in the Panhellenic Sanctuary at Delphi:  an Archaeological Approach   Hélène Aurigny    5 Hellenistic Festivals: Aspects of the Economic Impact on  Cities and Sanctuaries   Marietta Horster    6 Housing Pilgrims in Late Antiquity: Patrons, Buildings,  and Services   Robin M.
