Costruzione e percezione dello spazio rituale nel Mediterraneo antico : l'esempio dell'Africa romana

This interdisciplinary study reveals how ritual spaces in ancient Mediterranean cultures, particularly under Roman influence, evolved through the integration of bodily practices, ideological frameworks, and symbolic representations. Focusing on Dougga (Thugga) in Roman Africa, it demonstrates that 'romanization' transformed indigenous cultic landscapes, as seen in the Thinissut sanctuary and other sacred sites. The research employs epigraphic and archaeological evidence to analyze shifts in spatial organization, monumentalization of worship areas, and the embedding of polytheistic beliefs within Romanized contexts. By bridging religious history, anthropology, and archaeology, it offers a nuanced understanding of how cultural encounters reshaped ritual perceptions across civilizations.
