(2014) Politicization of religion, the power of symbolism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Narona, today's Vid in the lower Neretva Valley on the border between southern Croatia and southwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina, is situated in an area that in modern times has witnessed the worst ethnic conflict since World War II. Today Christian church towers compete with Muslim minarets in dominating the landscape, a visual reminder of deep ethnic divisions. In antiquity, this area was also an arena of multiple ethnic confrontations and acculturation, but this never led to similarly tragic results. What role did the politicization and manipulation of religion play in antiquity? What are the differences and similarities in these cultural encounters separated by two thousand years?
