Description

Pergamon, a center of the Roman imperial cult and one of the "seven churches" of Revelation 2, is referred to as "where Satan's throne is" and "where Satan lives." Now, for the first time, a comprehensive interdisciplinary discussion of this influential city from Hellenistic to Byzantine times has been developed. Pergamon - Citadel of the Gods includes comprehensive descriptions of the ancient city's famous temples and sanctuaries by German archaeologists who excavated them. In addition, leading European and American scholars in the fields of classics provide interpretive essays.
