- Summary:
- Das zweite Jahrhundert n. Chr. bildet eine wichtige Epoche für die Prozesse religiöser Individualisierung in der Antike. Die Autoren des Bandes zeigen, wie sich Vorstellungen vom »Selbst« mit körperbezogenen Praktiken von Kleidung und Haartracht wie Institutionen ethischer Reflexion und religiöser Erziehung miteinander zu wirkmächtigen Vorstellungen verbinden.
