撮要
新約學者早已認為羅馬的君王崇拜在小亞細亞的發展是重要的。本文旨在研究位於愛芙狄詩雅的太子廟,在公元一世紀用作君王崇拜的綜合大樓,通過研究這座大樓的建築設計,我們知道建築這座大樓顯然是為展示羅馬君王的實力,以及加強羅馬和愛芙狄詩雅人的維繫。
ABSTRACT
The significance of the development of the Roman imperial cult in Asia Minor has long been recognized by New Testament scholars. This study aims at examining one building complex devoted to the imperial cult in the first century of the Common Era: the Sebasteion in Aphrodisias. In examining the architectural design of this monumental structure, it is evident that the primary meaning of the Sebasteion resides in its ability to highlight the power of the Roman emperors and to reinforce the ties between Rome and Aphrodisias.
