Focusing on the architecture and urban design of five cities in the early Byzantine Near East, the author challenges prevailing assumptions about the region's culture. The examination includes various religious structures such as cult centers and temples dedicated to both Olympian gods and mystery religions. The impact of these sanctuaries on civic religious life is highlighted, illustrating their significant influence on how citizens viewed their city and identity. This work appeals to scholars of the New Testament, Hellenistic period, Judaic studies, Classical studies, and those interested in ancient history.
