Polymnia: Collana di Scienze dell'Antichità. Studi di Archeologia
Abstract
The aim of this research in fieri is to approach the pluralism of religions in Ancient Mediterranean, as complex realities which cannot be analysed through Greek or Roman interpretatio, nor by studying single divinities within Greek, Roman or Egyptian polytheisms historically in contact.
This religious pluralism must be valued as a whole of intersections, conflicts, synthesis of ritual and cultual elements: not only divinities, therefore, but also, in particular, objects, ritual practices, ‘theological’ traditions, as well as ritual fragments or rare modalities of seemingly contrasting practices belonging to different religions.
