Abstract Main description

The change in worship of polytheistic societies or the change of faith in the monotheistic ones, is a phenomenon studied by
specialists of different historical, archaeological, anthropological or historical-religious disciplines, but never seen in
a multidisciplinary perspective as a unitary phenomenon. By studying the interactions between people and trying to identify
and describe the elements of exchange and knowledge of the Other, Alteritas now wants – with this miscellanea – to deal with
a religious phenomenon that involves both people and places, both the modern and the ancient world. Contributions of approaches
from archaeology, social sciences, history, anthropology, religious studies of different historical periods demonstrate reflection
and various disciplinary approach on the subject.
