| Popis: | We review a series of stone and bronze figures and a Latin inscription, referred to religious beliefs in the mining district of Riotinto (Huelva), from a short time before the Roman conquest, until Imperial age. The adscription of some of them to pre-Roman gods becomes difficult, because local population is not well identificated, as a part of the historical problems that affect the neighbour region of Baeturia Celtica, and partially as a consequence of the great affluence of Lusitanian people, emigrated to work at the mines. We propose the "artificial" creation, with political control purposes, of a cult centre devoted to the Lusitanian god Endovelicus. Clearly Roman testimonies talk about "popular" religion, reflected in the existence of a funerary college under the protection of Jupiter. |
