Summary/Abstract: Religion can be defined as a communicative form, where materialities play an important role in establishing and maintaining a dialogue between the human and divine world. The study of the materialities of religion represents a new topic that emerged in the 1960’s and intensified after the material turn in post-processualist archaeology, cultural anthropology and religious studies. This study presents a short, historiographic analysis of the notion of archaeology of religion, its interdisciplinary formation and the case study of Roman Dacia, analysed recently through a new methodology, focusing on the spatial aspects of materialities of Roman religion.
