In the July 2016 I submitted this contribution to what would have been the second bibliographical survey of scholarship on Roman religion to appear in 'Archiv für Religionsgeschichte' under the title "Forschungsbericht Römische Religion." The first survey, covering publications from 2009 to 2011, had appeared in 2013, with my section on inscriptions pertinent to the study of Roman religion that were edited or reedited in epigraphical corpora to be found at pp. 323-328. Since at this point it appears that there will not be a second "Forschungsbericht," and not wanting my work to be wasted, I am providing my unpublished contribution in the hope that, even after so long, it will prove useful to colleagues working in this area. (I do so with the approval of one of the journal's editors.)

Explores issues surrounding the existence of 55 nearly identical dedicatory reliefs throughout Roman Lycia, raising new questions of their precise link to divinatory practices, Hellenization of local gods, continuity of religion in Lycia, etc., while also putting this unique series in the context of dedicatory reliefs found in rural Lycia and Pisidia. Suggests possible link to plague or some other crisis afflicting the region (if not the whole of the Roman Empire).

This is not a work of scholarship, but rather an essay on Lucian's "Assembly of the Gods" and its relevance to Trump-era immigration policies – one that I was unable to get published in a mainstream outlet at the time, and that with the change in administration is less relevant to political discourse in the United States. Nonetheless, even if it is a failed attempt at public outreach, I believe it still has value within the field of Classical Studies, since it explores the relevance of this comic dialogue for the ongoing study of race and ethnicity in classical antiquity, and might prove useful to colleagues offering courses on this subject.
