Date noi privind cultul lui Aesculapius la Apulum

  • Subiect: Aesculapius’ cult was largly developed in the urban centre of Apulum, having an important place among the pantheon of the official cults adored here. This study wishes to bring forward new iconographic data about attesting the cult of these deities in the urban centre from Apulum. It is about two new sculptural pieces and a clay artefact which will be analysed in the following lines. The first piece (inventory no. R824, 32 centimetres – total height, 27 centimetres - height without pedestal) is a fragmentary statue made of limestone, which represents Aesculapius standing, dressed with a himation, schematically rendered in two oblique incisions (Plate 1a, b). The second piece (Plate 2a, b) is a head from a cult statue of great dimensions which probably showed Aesculapius (36 centimetres height, length - 28 centimetres, neck’s diameter – 20 centimetres). It is not excluded to be quite Zeus’ representation. The last piece presented in this article is a double artefact, from burnt clay, medallion shaped, discovered in Apulum by chance (Plate 3). The piece was published approximately fifty years ago by the regretted researcher of Apulum, Alexandru Popa. On one side of the artefact Aesculapius and Hygeia are represented.
