Description

This scholarly volume examines temple ritual texts from ancient Mesopotamia, concentrating on the cities of Uruk and Babylon to illuminate the significance of public cults during the Hellenistic period through the first century B.C. Drawing on cuneiform sources, the work reveals how religious practices shaped urban life and community identity in these major centres of worship. Researchers and students of ancient history, religious studies, and Mesopotamian civilisation will find detailed analysis of how temple rituals functioned as evidence for understanding Hellenistic society. Published by Brill as part of the Cuneiform Monographs series, this volume offers fresh insights into the continuity and evolution of cultic practices across centuries of cultural change.
