Since the period of the Roman Empire, and especially in Late Antiquity, religion has proved to be a particularly important and identity-forming resource, not least because the spread and establishment of the Christian religion and the associated processes of Christianisation, which have to be differentiated locally. This has created new dynamics for existing religious and cult communities as well as for newly emerging ones. In one case study, the oracles of the period of the Roman Empire and from Late Antiquity (texts, spaces, things) and in a second case study the complex connection between religious, economic and political structures, especially in the province of Syria, will be examined as case studies of religious ResourceCultures.
