Summary
Did the so-called 'oriental cults' form a coherent group? And can they be called 'oriental' at all? This collective volume, originating from an interdisciplinary conference at Heidelberg University, answers these questions and deals with their expansion in the Roman Empire, focusing on the three cults of Isis (and Osiris), Mithras and Jupiter Dolichenus.
