The publication focuses on a small cave near St. Egyden in Carinthia (Austria), where archaeological excavations were carried out in 2011. The scientific evaluation of the archaeological data has shown that the place was a Roman-era cult site, which is characterized by remains of offerings and celebrations and meals held by a small rural community. In the present publication, this archaeological source material is made accessible in detail in order to discuss questions of cult practice, the deity that may has been worshipped, and the organization and composition of the cult community.
Content:
Im Zentrum der Veröffentlichung steht eine bei St. Egyden in Kärnten (AT) gelegene kleine Höhle, in der im Jahr 2011 archäologische Ausgrabungen durchgeführt wurden. Die wissenschaftliche Auswertung der archäologischen Daten hat gezeigt, dass es sich um einen römerzeitlichen Kultplatz handelt, der sich durch Überreste auszeichnet, die von Kultfeiern und -mählern sowie Opfergaben einer kleinen ruralen Kultgemeinschaft stammen. In der vorliegenden Publikation wird dieses archäologische Quellenmaterial detailliert zugänglich gemacht, um darauf aufbauend Fragen zur Kultpraxis, der möglicherweise verehrten Gottheit sowie der Organisation und Zusammensetzung der Kultgemeinschaft zu diskutieren.
