Sanctuaries in the Danubian Provinces: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Archaeology of Religion

Materiality of Roman religion remains among the most striking and evocative features of our museums, archaeological parks, and ancient urban landscapes. This volume presents a selection of sanctuaries from the Danubian provinces, recently investigated and interpreted through cutting-edge field archaeological methodologies and approaches of religious studies. Following a methodological introduction, three main chapters offer in-depth analyses by leading archaeologists and scholars of religion in Central and Eastern Europe. These studies explore the continuity of pre-Roman religious traditions, the role of epigraphic and figurative sources in space sacralisation, and the impact of urban religion on religious communication in sacralised spaces.
