In every culture, the relationship between religion and politics has been rather complex over time. Ten young PhD-students from Germany and the Netherlands present their research projects that all enquire into the relations between “Religion and Politics in Antiquity”. The workshop discusses ideas and recent findings on Hellenistic cities, Greek political structures and practices, Jewish and Christian texts as well as Latin Poetry and the reception of Antiquity. Some papers also focus on the diverse transformations of religious and political practices in Antiquity. The innovative concept of this young research conference is to bring together a variety of topics and disciplines which are related by a common interest in the nature of religion and politics. Each talk is accompanied by a brief response of an expert. The aim of the conference is to intensify relationships between German and Dutch researchers and to enhance the vivid dialogue between present and future academic generations.
