Numina Magna. Roma e il culto dei Grandi Dei di Samotracia
No full textThis volume underlines the main aspects of the cult of the Great Gods of Samothrace in light of the influences of Roman cultural and mythological substratum.
The cult of the Great Gods of Samothrace, which became popular starting as early as the 7th century BC in the eastern Mediterranean, is characterised by regional differences concerning cultural manifestations and relationships with local deities. Confused and identified with the so-called Cabiri, these deities had their main sanctuaries on the islands of Samothrace and Lemnos and in Thebes, in Boeotia. The connection between these deities and others like Dioscuri, Penates and Lares and their protective function seem to be a key to understanding the complex syncretism that characterises the cult of the Great Gods from the period of Roman conquests in the Eastern world. The literary sources seem to highlight, in fact, in the period in which the interests in the Eastern world are crucial to the foreign policy of Rome, an evident attempt to identify the Kabiroi of Samothrace with typically Roman gods like Lares and Penates. The aim of this book is to underline the main aspects of the cult in light of the influences of Roman cultural and mythological substratu
The Last Centuries of Nora: a Roman City of Sardinia between the End of the Empire and the Early Middle Ages
No full textThe aim of this study is to underline, through an analysis of material culture, the key points related to productions and trades in the roman city of Nora (South Sardinia) between the middle and the late imperial ages (IInd - IIIth centuries AD / IVth – VIIth centuries AD).

Il sacrificio come “Symbolic System”: il caso delle offerte di animali gravidi nel culto dei Cabiri
No full textThis paper focuses on a particular and “abnormal” animal victim in ancient greek cults: the sacrifice of pregnant animals, in fact, is often linked to unusual and liminal cultic performance, connected with chtonic deities. This analysis focuses on the cult of Kabiroi and Great Gods, with particular attention to Thebes in Boeotia and Andania in Messenia, in order to interpret the meaning of this animal sacrifice in the context of greek religio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
