The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) Auctarium series (part of the Series Nova since 2003) publishes monographs and edited volumes that analyse, provide supplements to, and present preliminary work on the inscription volumes.

Only the Very Best: Precious Metals for the House of God(s)
In his first book of the Buildings, Procopius elaborates on Constantinoples most famous church, hieron Sophia. Material ornamentation and textual ekphrasis render both the author Procopiuss and the builder Justinians divine worship appropriate. Justinians church building in Constantinople as well as Procopiuss textual representation were to become a turning point in the perception of Constantinople as the centre of Christianity in the Eastern Med…
Carmina Latina Epigraphica - Developments, Dynamics, Preferences
Religious Expansionism? Roman Priestly Activities Outside Republican Rome
Cult attendants, Greek
Freeborn cult attendants were often appointed for a limited period, to perform a few rituals during the year. Sacrificial assistants, who helped to prepare an animal for sacrifice, were probably most often freeborn. Slaves served in temples and sanctuaries.
The Impact of the Roman Empire on Landscapes: Proceedings of the Fourteenth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire (Mainz, June 12-15, 2019)
This volume presents the results of the fourteenth workshop of the international network 'Impact of Empire'. It focuses on the ways in which Rome's dominance influenced, changed, and created landscapes, and in which ways (Roman) landscapes were narrated and semantically represented.; Readership: This publication will be of particular interest for institutions promoting Greek and Roman studies and for scholars and students of classical and archaeo…
Geschichte und Geschichten im Alltag
In the life of the educated and well-off citizens of the Hellenistic and Roman world, well told stories and well written history were part of the universe of letters, rhetoric and art. Notwithstanding the high methodological demands and thorough investigations of historiographers like Thukydides, Polybios or Tacitus, it is far from clear that the readers of their work appreciated high-standard historiography more than other genres of literature a…
Urban Infrastructure and Euergetism Outside the City of Rome
This chapter explores the connection between the monumentalization of cities, the use of local resources, and the involvement of benefactors in civic building operations. At its peak the Roman Empire comprised a mosaic of some two thousand flourishing cities. For the establishment and maintenance of their infrastructure, they benefited in large part from the contributions of wealthy citizens and, in some situations, of outside sponsors. This chap…
Priene: Civic Priests and Koinon- Priesthoods in the Hellenistic Period
Cities and Priests: Cult Personnel in Asia Minor and the Aegean Islands from the Hellenistic to the Imperial Period
Cultural records such as dedications, honorific statues and decrees are keys to understanding the manifold and diverse social roles and religious functions of priesthoods in the cities of Asia Minor and the Aegean islands from the classical period to late antiquity. These texts and images indicate how the priests and priestesses saw themselves and were viewed by others. The approaches in this volume are historical, religious, and archaeological, …

Cult attendants, Greek
In administrative, organizational, financial, and cultic duties, priests were often assisted and supported by cult attendants.
Cult attendants, Roman
In the city of Rome, for most of the republican and imperial periods, Roman religious authority lay in the hands of senators, who held most of the life‐long priesthoods. The priesthoods were usually not linked to specific deities. Consequently, the idea of matching the gender of deities, priests, and cult personnel seems not to have existed, except in cults whose deities and general cult concepts had been imported to Rome.
Cults of Dionysos: Economic Aspects
Civic Priests: Cult Personnel in Athens from the Hellenistic Period to Late Antiquity
Images and inscriptions indicate how priests and cult personnel saw themselves and were viewed by others. Cultural records like dedications, honorific statues and decrees are central to understanding how the roles of priests and priestesses were constructed in social and political terms in post-classical Athens. The approaches in this study are both historical and archaeological, and elucidate the religious functions that the cult personnel fulfi…
Chapter 14. Lysimache and the Others some notes on the Position of Women in Athenian religion
The cultural determination of ancient and modern construction, deconstruction, and re-construction of Athenian history is a well-known and accepted paradigm. That women and men have different roles in (most) modern as well as ancient societies is admitted as well. However, ancient and modern constructions of these roles in Classical Athens are far from unanimous not only in the general outlines but also in detail. In 1925, A. W. Gomme published a…
Religious Landscape and Sacred Ground: Relationships between Space and Cult in the Greek World
Modern studies of “sacred ground” have been influenced by Greek authors who emphasized its economic function. However, literary sources, sacred laws and various engravings stipulate that such land was not to be leased out. Theoretically, only ordinary territory provided revenue to religious sanctuaries, but available documents do not always make it possible to distinguish between the two types of land. Nonetheless, when sacred ground was farmed, …
