ROMAN PROVINCIAL RELIGION AT THE CONVENTUS CORDUBENSIS: AN ANALYSIS THROUGH THE VOTIVE EPIGRAPHY

Abstract

My aim in this study is to reconstruct the configuration of the main cults and religious beliefs inside the limits of the conventus Cordubensis during the Roman era. Epigraphy allows us to observe not only the importance of Jupiter, the existence of the mystery cults, but also the circumscribed cult to native deities, who coexisted with the Greco-Roman ones. In this way, the great predominance of the Roman deities shows a clear tendency towards romanitas.
