Synopsis
This book explores the epigraphic remnants of religious practices in the Roman colony of Lugdunum in Gaul (modern Lyon, France). It contains inscriptions from the Augustan period onward, which, alongside archaeological evidence, shed light on religious beliefs prevalent in Roman Gaul. These range from expressions of devotion to traditional Roman deities to the worship of Gallo-Roman deities and the influence of eastern cults such as the cult of Cybele and Attis. The author presents a thorough analysis of the texts and their contexts, providing insights into religious practices, the role of religion in everyday life, and the interaction between Roman and local beliefs. This book is essential reading for scholars interested in the religious history of Gaul and the Roman world, and offers valuable source material for those studying the development of religious practices during the Roman Empire and their lasting impact.
