  Asks whether Greek religion formed a fundamental contrast to modern forms of religion that enjoy or, at least, claim a separation of 'church and state'. Focusing on economic and administrative aspects of sanctuaries in Hellenistic and Roman Asia Minor, this book investigates the boundaries between the sacred and the profane in the ancient world.
