Description

Explore the complex history of an ancient city that bridged the gap between the East and the West. Roman Edessa provides a detailed analysis of Edessa (modern day Urfa, Turkey) during the period of 114 to 242 C.E. This scholarly work examines how the city functioned as a unique cultural crossroads on the eastern fringes of the Roman Empire. Readers will find a deep look into the cultural life and antecedents of the region, alongside an investigation into Edessene religion. The text examines the level of Hellenization present in the city before the rise of Christianity. It also addresses historical legends, such as the myth regarding an exchange of letters between King Abgar and Jesus. This book is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the social and political dynamics of the ancient world.
