This site brings the social world of early Christians and Jews to life using inscriptions, monuments, archeological finds, and New Testament writings from the Roman empire, especially Asia Minor (Turkey). This sheds new light on the context of Revelation, 1 Peter, Ignatius' epistles, and others. Visitors can tour ancient cities, view photos of Greek and Roman gods and their temples, learn about archeology and inscriptions, and better understand the informal guilds and associations that existed alongside Jewish synagogues and Christian congregations.
