This book was released on 2006 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines terracotta figurines that were deposited in graves during the Roman period. The approach of collecting and analyzing figurines from graves was intended to gather a large and varied sample that would provide a relatively secure timeframe within which to study the types of figurines produced during this period and their patterns of distribution. The majority of the material collected for this study was provided by excavation reports and monographs, which provided a variety of information on the original contexts and the comparable figurine types that have been found in the Empire. The various chapters explore the methods of terracotta production, the major production centers of the figurines, Roman burial customs, a description of the figurines within their original contexts, a comparative analysis of the types and number of figurines found in the graves, and an examination of the patterns of distribution that the material produced when assimilated into distribution maps. The evidence suggests that the high concentration of figurines that occur along the frontier zones of the Rhine and Danube rivers during the first and second centuries C.E. implies not only a surface Romanization of this region but also perhaps that the act of depositing a figurine in a grave was part of the burial customs of the Roman military culture.

Book excerpt: The history of the Nabataean Kingdom of Hellenistic-Roman times, centred on Petra, is now well known, but until the publication of this book, no monograph has been devoted to Nabataean religion, known to us principally from inscriptions in Nabataean Aramaic, iconography, archaeology and Greek literary texts. After a critical survey of the sources, the author analyses systematically the information on the individual gods worshipped by the Nabataeans, including a detailed illustrated account of temples and iconography. A further major section discusses religious themes: aniconism, henotheism, death-cult and the divinisation of kings. In a final chapter, Nabataean religion is considered in relation to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The book will be of particular interest to historians of religion in the Graeco-Roman Near East and to Semitic epigraphists.
