Interaction, Cult and Memory: Another Look at Rock-cut Votive Reliefs in Pisidia
Öz
Interaction and memory are themes of great importance to ancient religion, history, and archaeology. Each provides a useful framework of study in its own right, but when considered together they become a powerful tool for understanding human encounters with the divine. This paper revisits a group of religious images – the rock-cut votive reliefs discovered during the course of field survey in Pisidia - through the collective lens of memory and interaction, with the aim of understanding their importance in local cult and of addressing some of the ways they have been perceived and studied over time. Keeping in mind the combined themes of interaction, cult, and memory, the focus here is their: 1 modern recovery and study; 2 permanency and position in the landscape; 3 relevance and importance as devotional objects. The larger question of the relationship of these reliefs with examples found in northern Lycia and in the context of the wider Hellenistic and Roman worlds is also important to note, as is their post-Antique afterlif
