{"product_id":"religion-society-and-culture-at-ted-kaizer-9781107123793","title":"Religion, Society and Culture at Dura-Europos","description":"This volume advances our understanding of the religion, society and culture of Dura-Europos, the small town on the Euphrates known since the 1930s as the 'Pompeii of the Syrian desert'. Several features make the site potentially our best source for day-to-day life in a small town situated on the periphery of the Roman world: inscriptions and graffiti in ten ancient languages; sculptures and frescoes combining elements of Classical and Oriental art; the most important papyrological dossier of any military unit in the Roman world; documents relating to the local economy; over a dozen pagan sanctuaries; plus a famously painted synagogue and the earliest Christian house church, all set in a gridiron city plan and surrounded by well-preserved fortifications. Dura's unique findings facilitate the study of life in a provincial small town to a degree that archaeology and history do not usually allow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Kaizer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107123798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107123793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.07h x 7.08w x 0.84d","brand":"Ted Kaizer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120806359295,"sku":"9781107123793","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ba2f406-389d-4125-9cc3-9d530fcff452.jpg?v=1687416374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-society-and-culture-at-ted-kaizer-9781107123793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
