Religion in the Roman Empire (RRE) aims to advance and document new and integrative perspectives on religion in the ancient world, combining multidisciplinary methodologies. Committed to interdisciplinarity and new approaches to the study of religion, it offers a space to take up recent, but still incipient, research to modify and cross the disciplinary boundaries of the History of Religion, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, Ancient History, Jewish History, Rabbinics, New Testament, Early Christianity, Patristics, Coptic Studies, Gnostic and Manichean Studies, Late Antiquity and Oriental Languages.
We hope to stimulate the development of new approaches that encompass the local and global trajectories of the multi-dimensional pluralistic religions of antiquity.
Open Access
Since 2024 RRE has appeared in open access under a CC license as part of a subscribe-to-open model (S2O).
The subscribe-to-open model (S2O) is fair and sustainable, being based on tried and tested structures and existing partnerships between the publisher and a journal’s institutional subscribers. The institutional subscriber base enables the transition to open access and thus free access for all readers by simply continuing the subscription as before. If the required threshold of institutional subscribers is not reached in a given year, the following volume will be published again behind the paywall in order to ensure the long-term economic stability of the journal. There is no article processing charge (APC) for contributors and publication in an S2O journal is free of charge. Users may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link or use the full texts of the articles for any lawful purpose in accordance with the CC license without first obtaining permission from the publisher or author. This is in line with the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of open access.
