Pilgrimage and Healing Sanctuaries in the Danubian Provinces

Summary/Abstract: This paper is focusing on ancient Roman healing sanctuaries in the Danubian provinces, interpreted here as case studies for public, sacralized spaces which played an important role in religious pilgrimage and communication between divine and human agents. The case studies from Daciae, Pannoniae and Moesia Superior emphasize the local specificities of the healing sites, the transformation and integration of the natural environment in the complex sanctuaries and the longue durée history of these sites, which played an important role in Roman religious communication and mobility in the Danubian provinces during the Principate.
