The book Connecting the Isiac Cults: Formal Modeling in the Hellenistic Mediterranean written by Tomáš Glomb has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing.
The book Connecting the Isiac Cults by Tomáš Glomb focuses on the spread of the Egyptian cults (particularly cults of Isis and Sarapis) in the Hellenistic Aegean and Asia Minor. The book uniquely combines established historiographical approaches with quantitative spatial analysis methods and asks the question: "How did political, economic, or geographical factors contribute to this cultural transmission?" Tomáš Glomb thus follows up on the results of the interdisciplinary team of the project GEHIR and interprets the quantitative results using the rich context of political and economic activities of Ptolemaic Egypt and its inhabitants.
Dr. Glomb's contributions to the digital research of religion were recognized by Martin Bareš, the rector of Masaryk University, at the Dies academics ceremony.
Dr. José Carlos López-Gómez from the University of Málaga is on a three-month research stay at CEDRR to explore cultural transmissions on the Iberian peninsula in antiquity using the methods of Digital Humanities.
