In Individuals and Materials in the Greco-Roman Cults of Isis Valentino Gasparini and Richard Veymiers present 26 studies with a focus on the individuals and groups which animated the diffusion and reception of the cults of Isis and other Egyptian gods throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.
"This book represents an immense step forward not only for Isiac studies but for the study of the ancient world as a whole. The contributions present a great range of methodologies as well as focal points within the broader topic at a consistently high level of research and editing. Such a kaleidoscope of good work is hugely valuable for the discipline (…) This volume is already a reference work for the ages and sets a high bar for future research." - Stephanie Pearson, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, in: Arys 17 (2019)
