Más información sobre el libro

A richly ilustrated guide to the religious beliefs of Germania Inferior based on the region's archaeological and architectural remains, especially in the Roman city of Colonia Ulpia Traiana and in the Augustan military base of Vetera. Zelle initially discusses the relationship between Germanic, Gallic and Roman cults during the 1st centuries BC and AD before examining specific buildings, altars and monuments in the religious centre of Colonia Ulpia Traiana. Zelle also considers the influence of eastern cults on the city and the contrast between public and private beliefs. An illustrated catalogue of gods concludes this attractive book.
