Show full item recordAbstract
The cult of Jupiter Dolichenus, of Oriental origin, is evident throughout almost all the territory
of the Roman Empire. The followers of the Dolichenus theology, such as soldiers, priests,
tradesmen, miners and freedmen dedicated figurative representations as well as numerous
inscriptions to the glory of the deity. In the territory of Upper Moesia, a particular frequency
of dedications is noticed along the Danube border region/limes. In this study I shall deal with
a somewhat particular type of Dolichenus believers, namely those who had a direct or indirect
connection with the mining areas of Upper Moesia.
