The Danubian provinces represent one of the largest macro-units
within the Roman Empire, with a large and rich heritage of Roman
material evidence. Although the notion itself is a modern
18th-century creation, this region represents a unique area, where
the dominant, pre-Roman cultures (Celtic, Illyrian, Hellenistic,
Thracian) are interconnected within the new administrative,
economic and cultural units of Roman cities, provinces and
extra-provincial networks. This book presents the material evidence
of Roman religion in the Danubian provinces through a new,
paradigmatic methodology, focusing not only on the traditional
urban and provincial units of the Roman Empire, but on a new space
taxonomy. Roman religion and its sacralised places are presented in
macro-, meso- and micro-spaces of a dynamic empire, which shaped
Roman religion in the 1st-3rd centuries AD and created a large
number of religious glocalizations and appropriations in Raetia,
Noricum, Pannonia Superior, Pannonia Inferior, Moesia Superior,
Moesia Inferior and Dacia. Combining the methodological approaches
of Roman provincial archaeology and religious studies, this work
intends to provoke a dialogue between disciplines rarely used
together in central-east Europe and beyond. The material evidence
of Roman religion is interpreted here as a dynamic agent in
religious communication, shaped by macro-spaces, extra-provincial
routes, commercial networks, but also by the formation and constant
dynamics of small group religions interconnected within this region
through human and material mobilities. The book also presents for
the first time a comprehensive list of sacralised spaces and
divinities in the Danubian provinces.
