'Religion in the Roman Empire' (RRE) intends to further new and integrative perspectives on religion in the Ancient World combining multidisciplinary methodologies. Starting from the notion of 'lived religion' it will offer a platform for recent and still incipient research to modify and cross the disciplinary boundaries between 'History of Religion', 'Archaeology', 'Anthropology', 'Classics', 'Ancient History', 'Jewish History', 'Rabbinics', 'New Testament', 'Early Christianity', 'Patristics', 'Coptic Studies', 'Gnostic and Manichaean Studies', 'Late Antiquity' and 'Oriental Languages'. We hope to stimulate the development of new approaches which can encompass the local and global trajectories of the pluralistic, multi-dimensional religions of antiquity.
