The journal Religion in the Roman Empire has reached a milestone, celebrating these days its 10th anniversary at the conference 'Objects as a Lens on Group Formations in the Cities of the Roman Empire (1st to 4th Century CE)', held in Erfurt, Germany. 

Founded in 2014 by Rubina Raja (Aarhus University) and Jörg Rüpke (Max-Weber-Kolleg, University of Erfurt), amongst others, the journal has positioned itself as a key publication venue for research on the ancient world.

About the journal

Religion in the Roman Empire (RRE) is bold in the sense that it intends to further and document new and integrative perspectives on religion in the Ancient World combining multidisciplinary methodologies. Starting from the notion of "lived religion" it will offer a space to take up recent, but still incipient, research to modify and cross the disciplinary boundaries of History of Religion, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, Ancient History, Jewish History, Rabbinics, New Testament, Early Christianity, Patristics, Coptic Studies, Gnostic and Manichean Studies, Late Antiquity and Oriental Languages. We hope to stimulate the development of new approaches that can encompass the local and global trajectories of the multidimensional pluralistic religions of antiquity.

Each volume consists of three issues a year, each of approximately 130 pages in length. It includes an editorial, five to seven main articles, and book reviews. All articles and contributions that exceed 8 pages in length are subject to double-blind peer reviews. Submissions will be anonymized for that purpose. All articles and contributions are in English.

Religion in the Roman Empire is listed in: Baidu Scholar, Ebsco Discovery Service, and Index Religiosus.

Next year’s first issue of Religion in the Roman Empire is set to be published in diamond open access, rendering it freely accessible through a Creative Commons licence (CC BY-SA 4.0), with no fees for authors and at no cost to a worldwide audience of readers. All it will take to ensure a fully open access digital journal using the subscribe-to-open model (S2O) are renewals of existing subscriptions.
