Description

This scholarly work by Brill examines the socio-religious culture of Syria and Mesopotamia during the Graeco-Roman period. Based on epigraphical evidence, the study focuses on the frequent formula "for the life of" found in votive inscriptions from the first three centuries A.D. These inscriptions, written in Aramaic and other languages, are recovered from sacred objects such as statues and altars located in temples and ritual structures. The research analyzes the relationship between dedicators and beneficiaries to understand the social context of these ancient dedications. As part of the Religions in the Graeco-Roman World series (volume 128), this book provides a detailed look at how these inscriptions reflect the lives and religious practices of the Syrian-Mesopotamian desert and its adjacent regions.
