Opis

This dictionary is a revised and extended version of the mythological dictionary of the Bibliography of Roman Religion in Dacia (BRRD) published in 2014. The main aim of the dictionary of the BRRD was to offer the first comprehensive mythological dictionary and list of divinities and personifications attested on epigraphic and figural monuments from Dacia, mostly for students and the greater public. The pictures (more than 100 illustrations) represent in most of the cases some iconographic analogies found in the territory of Dacia or - when there is no figurative representation - inscriptions. Because the results of the CSIR projects focusing on Roman material of Romania are still not published, most of the pictures are from the monumental work of Ortolf Harl, the Bilddatenbank Ubi Erat Lupa (abbreviated as lupa in the text with the register number of the picture) and from the digital catalogue of bronze statuettes of Roman Dacia. Other photos are used from publications mentioned in the bibliography.
