DIVINITIES AND THEIR IMAGES. PHENOMENA OF ACCULTURATION IN SMOOTH CILICIA

Abstract

The title I chose for my presentation might be somewhat too promising.
What I have to offer is some information on a project that was planned and
organized by R. Ziegler / University of Duisburg and myself and that was
actually executed by a team of three colleagues. We chose the title
“Divinities and Cults as Evidence for the Processes of Acculturation in
Smooth Cilicia”; the span of time covered is the Hellenistic and Roman
period. The project was financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) from November 1999 to February 2002. It was part of a vast
research program initiated by the DFG in 1998 under the title “Models and
Routes of Acculturation in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea
Area in Antiquity”.
