Document Details : Title: Religious Competition and the Decoration of Sanctuaries Subtitle: The Case of Dura-Europos Author(s): DIRVEN, Lucinda Journal: Eastern Christian Art Volume: 1 Issue: Date: 2004 Pages: 1-19 DOI: 10.2143/ECA.1.1.516939 Abstract : Since 1986 a French-Syrian mission has resumed the exploration of Dura-Europos. About a quarter of the ancient city has been excavated thus far, and the results are extremely impressive from an archaeological, art historical and religious point of view. The impact is all the greater because the remains allow for an overall view of the city; the combination of architecture, wall paintings, sculpture, inscriptions, papyri and small finds provide a truly exceptional insight in daily life. |
