  Article:   THE SACRED TOPOGRAPHY OF TIBISCUM.

Authors:  IMOLA BODA, CĂLIN TIMOC.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The religious life in Tibiscum is well documented by numerous sculptural and epigraphic pieces certifying various deities, religious practices and providers. Broadly speaking, the monuments reveal, through the iconographical type or through the epithets worn by the deities, which one of these cults enjoyed a more special worship and especially, who the worshipers were. The purpose of the present paper is to objectively analyze all the epigraphic and architectonic sources of the castrum and the civil settlement of Tibiscum, which is concentrated on the religious life of the community, following the chronological and topographical evolution of the establishment so as to define the sacred topography of Tibiscum to the current stage of the research. Thereby, we intend to foreshadow, for the local archeological research, certain urban layout elements that integrated the places of worship in the planimetry of the establishment.
