Original Title:
Τα Ιερά των Νησιών του Αιγαίου κατά τη Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορική Εποχή
Translated title:
The Sanctuaries of the Aegean Islands during the Roman Emperial Period
Summary:
The aim of this thesis, is to present the extra muros sanctuaries of the Aegean Islands during the Roman Imperial Period, by studying their remaining materials. The sanctuaries included are: the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace, the Kaveirion Sanctuary on Lemnos, the Heraion of Samos, the Sanctuary of Poseidon and Amphitrite in Tinos, the Sanctuary of Dionysus in Naxos, the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos, the Sanctuaries of Asclepius and Apollo in Kos and the Sanctuary of Athena Lindia on Rhodes.
The criteria based on which these sanctuaries were chosen, is the presence of at least two out of three monument categories (epigraphs, sculptures, buildings) in them and only those with an established place of origin, or those that were undoubtedly placed inside the sanctuaries, in order to avoid drawing the wrong conclusions. The epigraphs included are those that pertain to the imperial cult in the relevant sanctuaries. The presentation of the finds is accompanied by a short historical overview for every island and sanctuary, so as to create a comprehensive picture. The sanctuaries and their remainings, are presented firstly in geographical order, from north to south, and then chronologically, from the end of the 1st century B.C. up to the 5th century A.C.
