From the Ancient Near East to Christian Byzantium

Kings, Symbols, and Cities

By: Mario Baghos

From £25.99

This book combines the history of religions with Byzantine studies to analyze kings, symbols, and cities. It demonstrates how the ancient pagan ruler cult was gradually replaced by the ruler becoming subordinate to Christ, the ‘Master of All’ (Pantokrator).
