Religion in the Roman Empire
Religion in the Roman Empire (RRE) aims to advance and document new and integrative perspectives on religion in the ancient world, combining multidisciplinary methodologies. Committed to interdisciplinarity and new approaches to the study of religion, it offers a space to take up recent, but still incipient, research to modify and cross the disciplinary boundaries of the History of Religion, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, Ancient History, J…
Late Antiquity, Literature, and the History of Religions. In Dialogue with Anna‐Katharina Rieger and Sarah Cramsey
This article presents some reflections on the relationship between literature, history and religion in Late Antiquity, which are meant primarily as a response to Anna‐Katharina Rieger and Sarah A. Cramsey, but also takes into consideration some of the other articles in this special issue
Local Religions in Roman North Africa on the Eve of the Middle Ages
This paper considers how late antique Latin authors (mainly Augustine and Corippus) dealt with ancestral rites and practices of probable autochthonous (i. e.

Cross-dressing as discourse and symbol in late antique religion and literature
The dynamics of cross-dressing provide an interesting case-study as far as religion is concerned. Nonetheless, in spite of its being widely attested in ancient religious contexts, it is difficult to find univocal clarification of its actual meaning and significance. Cross-dressing, along with other orgiastic patterns pertaining to Dionysian festivals, is also to be read in connection with the agrarian ceremonials, for in transitional periods, all…
