  Article:   PRIAPEA DACIAE. A NEW STATUETTE DEPICTING PRIAPUS FROM POROLISSUM.

Authors:  DAN AUGUSTIN DEAC, EMANOIL PRIPON. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper presents a previously unpublished bronze statuette representation of Priapus. The artifact was discovered in the South-Western part of the settlement of Porolissum, in Dacia Porolissensis. Unfortunately, the precise archaeological context is unknown. In addition to presenting succinct description of the bronze statuette, this paper discusses the known finds of Priapus from the province of Dacia and suggests how they may have been used in public or private religious manifestations.  

Keywords: Priapus, Roman Dacia, Porolissum, bronze statuette, Roman religion.
