The imperial cult was a local phenomenon. Religious colleges, like other social groups, included various forms of the emperor cult in the rituals they practised at their own discretion. Most frequently, the collegial imperial cult took the form of ceremonies organised to celebrate anniversaries connected with the emperor. They could be accompanied by foundations of statues or even temples dedicated to the emperor or members of his family. The imperial cult played a special role in the case of corporations, which embraced it as their axis of activity and the main element of their identity. Associations of cultores Larum et imaginum Augusti, regardless of their genesis, were an important element of the very complex phenomenon of imperial cult in the western part of the Roman Empire. Testimonies left behind by their members enable us, to a large extent, to verify the 19th-century vision of the imperial cult, which mainly interpreted it in the context of “religion of loyalty.”

Artykuł stanowi syntetyczną analizę krytyki imperialnej w listach św. Pawła. Autor rozpoczyna od ukazania wszechobecności i charakteru kultu imperialnego w czasach apostoła. Następnie naświetla miejsca w listach św. Pawła, które zazwyczaj wiąże się z antyimperialną retoryką Pawła. W kolejnej części poddaje krytyce argumenty wysuwane za obecnością skryptu antyimperialnego we wskazanych listach. W konkluzjach autor krytycznie odnosi się do metodologii i przesłanek krytyki imperialnej, która zasadniczo lekceważy kontekst argumentacyjny Pawła, odwołuje się do problematycznego „ukrytego zapisu” i bywa mocno zideologizowana. Według autora apostoł nie walczy z Imperium, akceptując jego instytucje i porządek społeczny oraz próbując je zmieniać od środka. Choć Paweł świadomie nie operuje skryptem anty-imperialnym, Dobra Nowina i zakładane przez niego wspólnoty posiadają jednak anty-imperialny potencjał. To sprawia, że autor ostatecznie opowiada się za ostrożnym zastosowaniem krytyki imperialnej, która może służyć lepszemu zrozumieniu tła kulturowego Nowego Testamentu i przesłania listów św. Pawła.

The article presents a synthetic analysis of empire criticism in Pauline letters, beginning with the omnipresence and character of imperial cult in Paul’s time. Subsequently, the author highlights the places in Pauline letters that are usually associated with anti-imperial rhetoric. The following part of the article critically appraises the arguments for the presence of an anti-imperial script in Paul’s letters. The conclusions critically assess the methodology and premises of empire criticism, which essentially ignores Paul’s argumentative context, refers to the problematic “hidden transcript,” and can be strongly informed by contemporary ideologies. According to the author, Paul does not fight with the Empire, accepting its institutions and social order and trying to change them from within. Although the apostle does not consciously use the anti-imperial script, the Good News he preached and the communities he founded possess an anti-imperial potential. In light of this, the article ultimately advocates a careful application of empire criticism to Paul, which can serve a better understanding of the New Testament background and the message of Paul.

For this purpose, we undertooka detailed analysis of the materials and media used to decorate the areas of representation of the Concilium Provinciae, established at the beginning of Vespasian’s reign, contrasting them with the epigraphic production of the preceding periods. The study is compared to other archaeological relics from the same area.

The history of Mogontiacum spans the period from 17/16 BCE to the end of the fourth century CE. It was a strong military base (with two legions stationed there in the first century) and a major settlement centre, though without municipal rights. However, the demographic and economic development, as well as the superior administrative and political status enabled Mogontiacum to transform – in socio-economic and urbanistic terms – into a real city. This process was crowned in the latter half of the third century with the construction of the city walls.
