An exhaustive scholarly study of the enigmatic first-century philosopher and wonder-worker Apollonius of Tyana, a figure from the Roman province of Cappadocia whose life and teachings were recorded in ancient sources and later surrounded by legend. The work examines Apollonius’s role within the philosophical and religious landscape of the Roman world, his reputation as a healer and miracle worker, and the traditions that developed around his travels and teachings.
