Hypnos and the incubatio ritual at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa

  • Subiect: The aim of this study is to analyse a relief from Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa portraying the healing triad Aesculapius – Hygeia – Telesphorus together with another small god, so far interpreted as Eros – Thanatos and to demonstrate that the laer is in fact Hypnos. Aer describing the piece the study will bring forth all the similar evidence found in Dacia as well as all the analogies found in the Roman Empire, trying to find a pattern in their iconographic scheme and their spatial layout. Furthermore other indirect evidence can be selected from ancient literary sources and epigraphy that aest either a collective dedication for the aforementioned gods, either suggest the presence of Hypnos or Oneiros in asklepieia, especially in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire.
