Domini ac dei. Contribution to the interpretation of the archaeological evidence of emperor-cult spaces in Cyprus
1 : Universidade de São Paulo = University of São Paulo
Roman Cyprus, understudied for several decades, now appears to have an increased attractiveness also due to intensified field research.One of the aspects on which scholars' attention has focused is the imperial cult, the introduction of which is evidenced by the presence of some inscriptions and statues. This requires an interpretative effort in the identification of the places of worship to which the epigraphic and sculptural evidence can be linked. The introduction of the cult on the island in fact took place in an already highly urbanized context and in cities with a conspicuous monumental apparatus dating from the Hellenistic period. A framework of the status quaestionis of the problem will be outlined below.
