The Acts of Peter (hereafter Acts Pet.) contains an account of the destruction of an imperial statue by an exorcised demon, a statue that is subsequently miraculously restored by its owner Marcellus ...with the help of prayer and the apostle Peter. Although scholars seldom examine this episode in significant detail, when they have addressed it, they have for the most part agreed that it is an indication of the anti-imperial stance of the text generally and an attack on the legitimacy of the imperial cult more specifically. This is perhaps not wholly surprising, given that the majority of the other apocryphal Acts of the apostles (hereafter AAA) do seem to exhibit this vein of hostility, and this corpus is often interpreted as something of a homogeneous whole.
The paper presents the development trends of the cultural routes at European level and in Romania and their positive impact on raising the living standard for the local communities, with respect to ...the principles of sustainable tourism. The cultural routes will also contribute to: increasing the recognition of cultural tourism as an instrument for economic development, intercultural dialog and raising awareness regarding European citizenship through the formation of local/regional/national/international networks between the organizations that are involved in touristic activities, increasing the number of tourists in the regions of the cultural routes, increasing income from tourism, increasing competition among small and medium businesses in the touristic sector and increasing cooperation between the ministries of tourism in the region.
