The area around Albano Laziale shows the presence of cult places during the republican and early-imperial periods.

Abstract
The area around Albano Laziale shows the presence of cult places during the republican and early-imperial periods. These consist mainly of inscriptions with dedications to a deity and of votive material. Unfortunately, no architectural structures have been found. However, also with the help of ancient literature, it is possible to imagine the “sacred landscape” of the Roman period: rural cult places scattered all around the Albano lake within country estates of villas, and near roads, as the Appia Antica or other roads that linked hills to the sea. The main sanctuary was a temple of Iuppiter Latiaris, in Monte Cavo.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
