Diversity and conformity of cult places in Roman Republican colonies

拟议的研究项目将通过对邪教场所的调查，绘制和分析共和国意大利罗马殖民地(拉丁和公民身份)的神圣景观。它的目的是汇编可以在罗马殖民地找到的邪教和庇护所及其邪教背景，以确定罗马在意大利扩张期间在殖民地建立和使用邪教场所的可能活动模式。将特别注意罗马殖民者与新基金会周围的土著人民之间的关系。本课题主要研究了以下几个问题：1)在罗马殖民地可以找到哪些邪教场所，哪些起源于罗马以前，哪些是由殖民者建立的？邪教场所是如何随着时间的推移而发展起来的，殖民者自己建立的庇护所与殖民者从土著人民那里建立的庇护所是否有区别？在建立和使用避难所方面，能否辨别出区域甚至跨区域的模式？对各个地点的调查结果将汇集在一起，并在比较分析中加以解释。

The proposed research project will map and analyze the sacred landscape of Roman colonies (of Latin and Citizen status) in Republican Italy through an investigation of cult places. It aims to compile the cults and sanctuaries that can be found in Roman colonies and their cultic contexts in order to identify possible patterns of activity regarding the establishment and use of cult places in the colonies during the Roman expansion in Italy. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between the Roman colonists and the indigenous peoples surrounding the new foundations. The research project focuses on the following questions: 1.) Which cult places can be found in Roman colonies, which were of pre-Roman origin and which were established by the colonists? 2.) How did the cult places develop over the course of time, were there differences between sanctuaries established by the colonists themselves and those the colonists had adopted from indigenous peoples? 3.) Can regional or even trans-regional patterns be discerned regarding the establishment and use of sanctuaries? The results of the investigation of the individual sites will be brought together and interpreted in a comparatistic analysis.
