Epigraphy and Religion Revisited, organized by Nikolaos Papazarkadas

The main objective of this panel is to bring together papers that explore religious phenomena primarily from an epigraphic perspective. The American Society of Greek and Latin Epigraphy devoted one of its first thematic panels to Epigraphy and Religion, back in 1999. Almost two decades later, ASGLE revisits the topic in order to find out what the status quaestionis looks like for the current generation of scholars.
