A Roman alimentary stamp related to Juno Sospita from South-Eastern Hispania

Abstract

Roman alimentary stamps have an iconography that sometimes is difficult to interpret. In this paper, some valuations on the images displayed on both sides of one of these objects, namely an example belonging to a private collection in Murcia, are offered. In its original publication a relation to agrarian cults through motifs that would refer to the goddess Ceres was proposed. However, it is a composition having its closest parallels in a series of Roman Republican coins issued in 64 bc by Lucio Roscio Fabato. These denarii are mainly linked to Juno Sospita and secondarily also to the Egyptian cults of Mediterranean expansion. Therefore we evaluate the possibility that such religious interaction is found also reflected on the mentioned alimentary stamp is evaluated, offering new information on the processes of cultural interaction between the Iberian and the Italian Peninsulas.
