Orijentalni kultovi na tlu provincije Dalmacije u I stoljeću
Oriental cults in the province of Dalmatia in the 1st century

Summary/Abstract: The end of the Roman conquest of the territory inhabited by the Illyrian peoples entered the final phase of pacification with the end of the Great Illyrian revolt (6-9 AD). After the establishment of the government, the situation the Romans encountered in the province of Dalmatia was heterogeneous in terms of spiritual and material culture of the peoples that inhabited this territory. Oriental cults started to spread as the result of imperial propaganda, the army, merchants from the east, sailors, immigrants from eastern provinces, freedmen and slaves. The monuments that witness about the presence of the cult of Phrygian goddess Cybele and Egyptian goddess Isis date back to the 1st century AD in the territory of the province of Dalmatia. These cults had arrived to Rome centuries before whence they started to spread across the imperial provinces.
