This book is the first comprehensive work focusing on lived ancient
religious communication in Roman Dacia. Testing for the first time
the 'Lived Ancient Religion' approach in terms of a peripheral
province from the Danubian area, this work looks at the role of
'sacralised' spaces, known commonly as sanctuaries in the religious
communication of the province. The author analyses the role of
space sacralisation, religious appropriation, embodiment and the
social impact of religious communication in urban contexts
(Apulum), military contexts (Porolissum and Mehadia), and numerous
examples from rural (non-urban) environments (Ampelum, Germisara,
Ad Mediam, and many others). The book concentrates not only on the
creation and maintenance of sacralised spaces in public and
secondary locations, but also on their role at the micro-level of
objects, semi-micro level of spaces (settlements), and the
macro-level of the province and the Danubian region as a whole.
Innovatively as regards provincial archaeological research, this
book emphasises the spatial aspects of lived ancient religion by
analysing for the first time the sanctuaries as spaces of religious
communication in Dacia. The work also contains a significant
chapter on the so-called 'small-group' religions (the Bacchic,
Mithraic and Dolichenian groups of the province), which are
approached for the first time in detail. The study also gives the
first comprehensive list of archaeologicallyepigraphically-
attested, and presumed sacralised spaces within Dacia.
