This Element explores a historical epoch characterized by a multitude of emergent religious concepts and practices - the Hellenistic and Roman periods. A precondition for the intense degree of religious innovation was a high level of cultural exchange. The rise of Christianity ultimately changed the religious landscape in profound ways.
