Ten
members of the ERC-funded project ‘Lived Ancient Religion’, co-directed by
Prof.es Jörg Rüpke (MWK) and Rubina Raja (Aarhus), came together at Schloß
Ettersburg near Weimar (Thuringia) on 8-9 December 2016 to assess progress on
individual projects as the financial period draws to a close (31 May 2017), and
to review preparations for the final conference to be held at Haus Haunstein in
Eisenach, 3-5 April 2017. On taking stock of what the participants felt to be
the key concepts that had been developed over the five years, it became clear
that the original terms have largely, though not entirely, been replaced by
others that are more appropriate to individual needs. A number of existing
co-operation partners and future conferences were nominated as means of
pursuing topics that are only now being opened up or could not be completed
within the financial period. In addition to the publication in various forms of
individual projects and of the proceedings of the final conference, it was
resolved to publish a collective article in a Religious Studies journal to
summarise the project’s provisional results in that quarter. The new
house-journal Religion in the Roman
Empire (Mohr Siebeck) will however be the major long-term forum for the
ideas developed by the project.
