BANKETTE FÜR LIBER PATER IN APULUM
BANQUETS FOR LIBER PATER AT APULUM

Summary/Abstract: Banquets for Liber Pater at Apulum. The paper examines four pits filled with large amounts of ceramics, discovered in the sanctuary of Liber Pater at Apulum (Dacia) and dated to the first half of the 3rd century AD. The examination of the finds showed that the ceramic material, which reached the pits as refuse, presents a large number of special forms and as such must be connected to the cult rituals held in the sanctuary. Furthermore, small or large groups of (mostly deliberately destroyed) pots testify that people used the pits to put their offerings here into the ground as well.
