Description

Il complesso quadro dello sviluppo e della diffusione del culto di Asclepio nel Mediterraneo, la cui consistenza rappresenta un unicum nel panorama religioso greco-romano, è stato analizzato in tutti gli aspetti salienti nel più ampio contesto di analoghi fenomeni religiosi presenti nell'area mediterranea. Nel campo storico-archeologico gli studiosi hanno illustrato i molteplici aspetti del culto di Asclepio nella Grecia continentale, nell'Egeo, nell'Asia Minore, nell'ambiente italico, nel Nord Africa e nella Sicilia, con tutti i problemi aperti di ordine topografico, architettonico, iconografico e cronologico, nonché rituali in connessione con le fonti letterarie ed epigrafiche. Nel campo storico religioso gli studiosi hanno rivolto la loro attenzione alla trattazione delle fonti di particolare significato, degli aspetti iatromantici del culto nel vicino Oriente e in Egitto, e di temi che coinvolgono astrologia, magia e medicina sul piano letterario, filologico e della cultura materiale, sino ai confini del culto tra paganesimo e cristianesimo.
