Ranging from huge temple complexes to hand-held figurines, this book surveys a broad scope of materials. Careful reading of texts and inscriptions is combined with cutting-edge archaeological and architectural analysis to illustrate how the ancient people of Ephesos worshipped both the traditional deities and the new gods that came into their purview. Overall, the volume questions traditional understandings of material culture in Ephesos, and demonstrates that the views of the city and its inhabitants on religion were more complex and diverse than has been previously assumed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Der] reich bebilderte Band, [sei] allen, die sich für die religiöse (Um-)Welt der frühen Christinnen und Christen in Ephesos interessieren, nachdrücklich empfohlen.\" - Klaus-Michael Bull, Rostock, in: TLZ 146 (2021) 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  List of Plans and Figures  Notes on Contributors  General Plans    Introduction    PART 1: Structures  1 The So-Called Imperial Cult Temple for Domitian in Ephesos   Sabine Ladstätter    2 The Architecture of the So-Called Serapeion in Ephesos   Thekla Schulz    3 Thekla in the Cave of St. Paul at Ephesos   Renate Johanna Pillinger    4 Selected Evidence of Christian Residents in Late Antique Ephesos   Andreas Pülz    Part 2: Spaces  5 The Upper Agora at Ephesos: an Imperial Forum?   Dirk Steuernagel    6 The Magnesian Gate of Ephesos   Alexander Sokolicek    7 Mortuary Landscape and Group Identity in Roman Ephesos   Martin Steskal    8 Sacred Space for Dionysos in Ephesos and the House of C.
