Le Succès d’Harpocrate à Nea Paphos

Amulet discovery in Nea Paphos sheds light on widespread yet understudied cult of Harpocrates. Analysis reveals his significant presence in Cyprus, particularly at Nea Paphos, contrasting with scarce representations elsewhere (e.g., Amathontes, Salamine). The study interprets the amulet's significance and examines the god's societal reach across material classes through terracotta, glass, bronze, silver, and gold artifacts. Methodology includes epigraphic analysis and artifact examination, highlighting Harpocrates' cultural importance during the Graeco-Roman period.
