Abstract

Antiquity Dio Cassius (150?-235) Diplomatic & consular services International relations Metaphor Morality Negotiation Tombs Topography
[...]Jonas Bjornebye (ch. 18) compares two types of mithraea in Rome and the patterns of movement related to them, and considers how adherents to the cult might have negotiated topography and space in Late Roman Antiquity. Broad coverage is attractive (movement as an expression of power, ritual practices, metaphors in writing, communication between different status groups, economic stability, and even violent outbreaks), but the all-inclusiveness of the volume also damages its coherency.
