Conference on Roman Polytheism

«STEPS AHEAD». NEW TRENDS IN THE ANALYSIS OF ROMAN POLYTHEISM

The International Conference on Roman Polytheism «Steps ahead» will take place at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Campus Puerta de Toledo) between 25-27 October 2023.

The aim of this congress is to contribute to the ongoing theoretical discussion on conceptual tools such as “acculturation”, “assimilation”, “diffusionism”, “imperialism”, “indigenism”, “pagan monotheism”, “revivalism”, “Romanisation”, “syncretism”, etc., by offering new reflections on their general or contextual value and applicability and, at the same time, to provide cases-studies in four panels:

1. “Religious competition”.

2. “Urban religion”.

3. “Religious networks”.

4. “Exploring Resonanz”.

Organisation Committee: Jaime Alvar Ezquerra (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), Lorena Pérez Yarza (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), José Carlos López Gómez (Universidad de Málaga)
