From the Introduction: "[.] we are interested in how religious practices in fact articulate or shape urban space and urban movements, both broadly speaking and in detail, beyond major sanctuaries and procession routes". - 8.1: Georg Wissowa on Roman Religion of the Imperial Period. Edited by Elisabeth Begemann & Jörg Rüpke. Sechs Beiträge in englischer Sprache, mit Editionen deutschsprachiger Texte und Korrespondenzen. Anlass und Zentrum der Publikation ist ein zuvor nicht veröffentlichtes Manuskript, in dem Wissowa seine Sicht auf die religiösen Veränderungen im Römischen Reich darlegt. - 8.2: Urban Religion in the Desert: Perspectives from Palmyra. Edited by Amy C. Miranda & Rubina Raja. The issue presents four different variations on the theme of urban religion in Palmyra, utilising a variety of material and approaches. Fünf Beiträge. - 8.3: Resetting Early Christian Rituals. Edited by Markus Vinzent. Seven essays intend to link methodological questions, material, space and time, putting early Christian rituals into the discourse of ritual studies from the contemporary perspective and vice-versa. - 9.1: Architexture: Textual Representation and Practices of Sacred Spaces in the Ancient World. Seven interdisciplinary essays compare the terminology of cult places in Judaism, Christianity, and Greco-Roman religion, examining the underlying spatial concepts and relating them to cultic practices. - 9.2: Strategies and Practices of Resilience in Roman Religion. In a diachronic perspective, from Rome's foundation to the fall of Constantinople, six essays examine the resilient function of religion at Rome and, at the same time, how resilience could affect Roman religion in turn. - 9.3: Urban Representations of Religion. Five essays illuminate a set of issues pertaining to disentangling urban religion in urban settings through examining the representations of religion as a conscious strategy in cities of the Roman Empire. - Vol. 7, No. 3, eine "Open Submissions"-Ausgabe ohne Schwerpunktthema, enthält sechs Beiträge zu vielfältigen Themen. - Aus dem Inhalt: Vol. 7.1, Curses in the Eastern and North African Provinces of the Roman Empire: Richard L.
