DESCRIPTION:Is there a 'Sogdian Pantheon'? Regionalism and Local Variation
 s in the Religion of the Sogdians (5th-8th centuries CE)\n\nThe religion o
 f the Sogdians in the Late Antique period is usually referred tо as a sin
 gle phenomenon assuming the existence of a common 'Sogdian Pantheon'. Sogd
 iana is a geographical and not a political term. There was never a unified
  'Sogdian state' but a collection of independent or semi-independent princ
 ipalities sharing common culture\, language and background\, but also demo
 nstrating important regional differences. It is about time that we approac
 h also the Sogdian religion in terms of temporal development and regional 
 variations.\n\nThe paper will discuss the primary sources for the study of
  the Sogdian religion\, which is mainly the iconography. It will emphasize
  the neglected\, but significant fact that 80 % of the material on the Sog
 dian religious iconography comes from Panjikent\, which was not even among
  the five largest Sogdian cities and it is also chronologically limited to
  the 740s.\n
